Sampford Peverell bridge. Road bridge over the Grand Western Canal. Circa 1814. English bond brick with local conglomerate sandstone coping. Single span bridge with a skewed elliptical arch giving maximum headroom over the towpath. The walls are slightly battered. They rise to a plain projecting stringcourse at road level. The parapet has rounded coping. Either end the walls curve out to narrow terminal piers which project externally only. This section of the Grand Western Canal was opened in 1814.
