Howsham Bridge is a historic bridge across the River Derwent in North Yorkshire, in England.
A bridge on the road from Howsham to Barton-le-Willows was recorded by John Leland, but by 1612 it was reported as being in poor repair.[1] The current bridge is generally described as dating from the late 18th century,[2] but from 1813 to 1815, £5,977 was spent on the bridge, suggesting it was wholly rebuilt.[3] It was grade II listed in 1987.[4]
The bridge is built of sandstone, and consists of three segmental arches with rusticated voussoirs. It has tapering semi-cylindrical buttresses, a band, and a coped parapet, and at the ends are drums.[4]
