Clattern Bridge

The bridge replaced an earlier Saxon crossing. Its lower courses are three arches of dressed ashlar with flint rubble filling, the original twelfth-century fabric. It was widened in 1758 in red brick with stone-capped parapets and again in 1852 with further brickwork and ornamental iron railings. The name descends through Clatrung Bridge and Clateryngbrugge, thought to record the clatter of hooves crossing it. It is one of the six scheduled monuments in the borough and one of the three Grade I entries on the National Heritage List for England inside it, which is why it appears on two separate parts of the register.
