Old Exe Bridge

About

Old Exe Bridge is a bridge in south west. (Ruined medieval bridge in Devon, England.) According to Wikipedia: "The Old Exe Bridge is a ruined medieval bridge in Exeter in south-western England. Construction of the bridge began in 1190, and was completed by 1214. The bridge is the oldest surviving bridge of its size in England and the oldest bridge in Britain with a chapel still on it. It replaced several rudimentary crossings which had been in use sporadically since Roman times. The project was the idea of Nicholas and Walter Gervase, father and son and influential local merchants, who travelled the country to raise funds. No known records survive of the bridge's builders."
