Catterick Bridge (bridge)

The bridge was constructed between 1421 and 1425, with funding from William de Burgh and seven other local nobles.

The southern pillar of the bridge fell into disrepair, and in 1562 Roger Burgh and two other nobles agreed to fund repairs.

[1] In 1792, John Carr of York widened the bridge by 13 feet, on the downstream side, and demolished the chapel.

It was formerly part of the A1, which now crosses the Swale a short distance upstream to the west.

It is built of sandstone and consists of three arches, slightly pointed on the older, upstream, side.
