Sutton Bridge, Road bridge and Grade II listed building over River Thames in Sutton Courtenay, England
Description
Sutton Bridge is a stone crossing over the River Thames in Sutton Courtenay with three main openings spanning the river and two additional arches across the flood plain. The structure carries a minor road and connects the villages of Sutton Courtenay and Culham.
History
This crossing was built in 1807 and replaced an earlier system of multiple arches and a ferry. An extension over Culham Cut was added in 1809 to complete the connection.
Culture
The bridge shows features of its Georgian era, when skilled stonework and masonry defined how structures were built. Visitors can see the carefully cut stone blocks and solid construction methods that were typical of this period.
Practical
The crossing is accessible for normal vehicle traffic and spans the Thames at full height. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use the structure and will notice the sloped approaches and river setting.
Did you know?
The bridge rests on two massive piers set directly in the water, a rare example of traditional Georgian building methods. These supports still show the skilled craftsmanship that went into their construction.
