Norsworthy or Nosworthy Bridge spans the River Meavy just north of where Newleycombe Lake joins and where the two water courses spill into Burrator Reservoir. The current bridge dates from at least the early 19th century (it appears on the 1840 tithe map). As with many bridges across the moor (and county) there are or at least were two “C” (for County) inscribed stones approx 100m from each end of the bridge identifying that the county was responsible for maintaining the bridge and approaches between the two stones. The west stone and inscription is extant with the east stone being (most probably) extant but with the inscription missing due to the boulder on which it was located having been split.
