The story I heard is that when the bridge was built in stone over it's previous wooden version in the 14th century, the building of the bridge was paid for in contributions from local businesses. The more money an individual business put into the pot, the bigger their arch. I have recently discovered that this is just one of many rumoured reasons for the arches' size difference, including that it was built piecemeal by The Bridge Trust, and also that it was built on whatever existing rock that the builders could use as a strong base. I like the truly Devonian feel of the first story, so that's the one I'm sticking with! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’ve wanted to create a piece featuring the bridge for a few years now, but my landscape painting skills have remained woefully under par for the task!
