General notes
View shows the bridges in Wycoller village. In the foreground is the 'Clapper' bridge, comprising large stone slabs supported on piers. Bentley, ("Portrait of Wycoller". 1975), ranks it as 'one of the most interesting early bridges in England'. He suggests that it originally had two slabs, supported by a central pillar, but at some time in the 19th century, the slab on the hall side was split, resulting in there being three slabs and an extra pier. Partly hidden by the trees can be seen the Packhorse Bridge. This bridge is reputed to date from the 13th century, though in the view of John Bentley (Portrait of Wycoller. 1975), it may be much later. It is grade II* listed and the listing description offer a date of 17th century 'or earlier'. The voussoirs, or arch shaped stones extend the full width of the bridge.
