Haselbury Bridge (sometimes called Haselbury Old Bridge) is a stone built bridge dating from the 14th century in Haselbury Plucknett in the English county of Somerset. It is a scheduled monument and Grade II* listed building.[1][2]
The two arch bridge was built of local Hamstone and carries a small road over the River Parrett.[3] Each of the arches has a 3 metres (9.8 ft) span. The bridge is 4.1 metres (13 ft) wide including the parapet on each side.[1]
In the 17th century it carried the main route between Salisbury and Exeter and later marked the boundary between the Chard and Yeovil turnpike trusts.[2][4][5] The bridge was bypassed in 1831.[6]
