The second oldest of the five bridges in Bourton on the Water, this footbridge was built in 1776, unfortunately the initials of the builder are very worn, although the date is fairly clear.
From wikipedia:-
The small historic core of Bourton-on-the-Water along with associated areas along the River Windrush have been designated a UK Conservation Area. The river is crossed by five low, arched stone bridges. They were built between 1654 and 1953, leading to the moniker of "Venice of the Cotswolds".
