Summary

edit
Description
English: Particularly clear view of bridge, taken from the one spot where this is possible. Subject: built by the Abingdon Guild of the Holy Cross, widened and north side rebuilt in the 18th century (18C). Parapet restored mid-C20. Built of squared uncoursed stone. Has five 4-centred arches of varying heights. Has a plain parapet. North side has 5 round arches. War key moment: during the Civil War, in May 1644 the parliamentarians seized the bridge and attacked royalist convoys to Oxford. This led to an unsuccessful royalist attempt to recapture and demolish the bridge (the Battle of Culham Bridge, January l645). Scheduled Ancient Monument.
