Cowley, Devon

Cowley, Devon

Cowley is a hamlet in the parish of Upton Pyne in Devon, England. It is chiefly notable for a fine three-arched bridge of classical design, built over the River Creedy in 1813-14 by James Green,[1] pupil of John Rennie and surveyor to the county of Devon. Although so recent in date, the bridge has been scheduled as an ancient monument.

Cowley church was built as a chapel of ease to Brampford Speke by Rhode Hawkins in 1867-8.[1]
