Links the settlements of Purlbridge and Bonehayne, both of which date at least to mid 16th century. An earlier bridge or ford probably existed here.1881 reference to Brinkley Bridge (but possibly in Dalwood parish) being in poor repair. By midsummer session 1881 it was in good repair and recommended for adoption as a county bridge. By 1888 there were doubts as to its stability, and recommendation that a large hole just below the pier foundations be filled with concrete. A 1993 proposal for repair involves removal of 19th century rubble arch and replacement with reinforced concrete and repair of parapet and spandrel walls
