"The River Kennett ... is crossed at Moulton by a very attractive packhorse bridge said to date from the fifteenth century. The arch-rings are of brick, but the rest of the bridge is built of flint and stone. The four arches span a distance of 20 yards and the width between parapets is 5 feet." E. Jervoise, The ancient bridges of mid and eastern England (Architectural Press, 1932), p.110.
