Champerhaies Bridge was a Grade II listed structure (National Heritage List reference 1326153) over the River Culm at Bradninch. It was described as being of early to mid 19th century; the listing description noted a datestone of 1835 on a nearby weir, which was attested to the bridge. After heavy rain that caused the Culm to flood, on 21 November 2012 the bridge was partially washed away leaving it unusable. A photographic and written description of the bridge was made prior to and during its demolition. See report for full details.
