About Framwellgate Brid

Framwellgate Bridge is a historic or ancient workmanship curve connects over the River Wear, in Durham, England.

It is a Grade I recorded building. The extension was worked after 1400 to supplant one assembled ahead of schedule in the twelfth century for Ranulf Flambard, who was Bishop of Durham 1099– 1128.

Flambard's scaffold appears to have had five or six curves. The present extension is of two shallow curves, each with a few fortifying ribs.

Their consolidated traverse is around 30 yards 27 m. The mid-sixteenth-century savant John Leland recorded that there were three curves.

Water shade of Durham Cathedral painted by Thomas Girtin in 1799 demonstrates the third curve, with an adjusted shape normal for Norman engineering.

Structures at the focal Durham end of the scaffold may cover the third curve, which might be a surviving piece of Flambard's unique twelfth century connect.
