Single span across road with second arch built into the slope of
the bank, a further third arch formerly led down into the Abbey
precinct, but this has been demolished. Stepped parapet, rebuilt
at top c1930. The bridge post-dates a Royal Proclamation issued
15th June 1854 forbidding the wearing of Catholic vestments and
ornaments in public, for the bridge was designed to link the
abbey with the cemetery on Ampleforth Bank.

Bridge. Probably early C19 in origin with later rebuilding. Rusticated
limestone ashlar. Single span across road with a second arch built into the
slope of the bank. Stepped parapet, rebuilt at top. In origin the bridge
may pre-date the 1829 Catholic Emancipation Act, its purpose being to shield
the monks from sight as they crossed the road.
