Monument record TR 15 NW 656 - Medieval Wall (Remains of Bridge), Greyfriars, Canterbury
Summary
A stretch of ragstone ashlar with some (inserted?) peg-tile and oyster galleting. The earliest phase of the wall provided a parapet to an underlying arch og the bridge over the Thuate. The bridge was probably constructed, on the basis of documentary evidence, to between 1267 - 1310. The bridge seems to have gone out of use some time after the 1640's possibly during the 18th century. The barrel-vault of the bridge was formed of a course of roughly squared blocks laid tangentially surmounted by another laid raidially. Four phases of repair were identified dating to the mid 16th, mid 18th/early 19th, late 19th and mid to late 20th centuries.
