Elvet Bridge is mainly thirteenth century, though it includes one arch of late twelfth century. The central three arches were renewed after a great flood in 1771. It was doubled in width in 1804. Two of the west land arches are beneath present road; the easternmost of them adapted as house of correction in 1632 has iron grilles over boarded doors. South-east arch supported a medieval chapel of St. Andrew, of which part may survive under No. 97 Elvet Bridge. This is a Grade I Listed Building protected by law. It is also a Scheduled Monument protected by law. This is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument protected by law.
