Summary : A four-centred arched 15th century bridge over the river Derwent. It is the only one of this type over the Derwent, and has not been spoilt by the widening on the upstream side.
More information : [SK 30035715] Chapel [G.T.] (1)

St. Mary's or Cromford Bridge Chapel, of late fourteenth or early
fifteenth century date, was excavated and restored in 1951-2 by the
Derbyshire Arch. Soc., who own the freehold. [See plan etc:
AO/LP/62/43]. (2)

The chapel is still in ruins. Restoration work in 1951-2 (Authy. 2)
was confined to the removal of modern building material and debris
from the western end, previously incorporated into an outhouse, and
to effecting some repair at this end to the external walls which now
stand to a height of 4 m.
The excavation carried out during the same period has exposed the
foundations of the remainder of the chapel.
See GP AO.62/85/8 for the remains of the chapel. (3)
