Description
Grinton Bridge MYD35481 (c) YDNPA, 2023
An important early bridging point over the River Swale lies in Grinton. The present bridge has three semi-circular arches and is built of rubble and ashlar (finely dressed) stone and is of three different phases, late 17th, late 18th and 19th century. The late 17th century bridge is on the upstream side, of rubble construction, the northernmost arch of irregular shape, the other two having added late 18th century voussoirs and cutwaters. The downstream half of the bridge is of late 18th century construction. Both sides have a plain string course below parapets of coursed rubble of 19th century date.
