Full description
Robinson, R., Ugborough (Worksheet). SDV160162.
Pennaton Bridge over the Glaze Brook, along the Ugborough South Brent Road. Pennaton Bridge is built in random stone; single arch, segmental, with a span of 4.0 meters, the width of road between parapets is 2.870 meters. The parapets are 0.76 meters high and have granite copings. The arch segment is not high, the centre of the arch being about 1.5 meters above normal water level. Probable that this minor lane crossed the river by ford until the late 18th century. The bridge has the general appearance of being 18th century in date.
