Caption For Marcham, The Church C1965

All Saints' Parish Church was rebuilt in 1837 by William Fisher from Oxford, who kept the plain 13th-century west tower and reused several windows, doorways and arches.

Caption For Aysgarth, The Village 1908

Lying about ten miles east of Hawes, Aysgarth is famous for a series of waterfalls on the River Ure, the upper of which can still be viewed from a 16th-century single-arch bridge.

The entrance to St Chad's is the arched opening on the right.

Caption For Hanmer, Village C1955

A number of late medieval timber-framed thatched cottages remain, such as the one shown here; Magpie Cottage was, and is, a much photographed symbol of the village.

Caption For Lytham, Ashton Gardens Bowling Green 1921

Flowerbeds, paths, rockeries, a waterfall, and a random stone arched bridge all enhanced the gardens further. The bowling green was an instant success.

Caption For Godmersham, The Church 1909

This neat church is basically Norman, and was so badly neglected during early Victorian times and was in such a poor state of repair that it was heavily restored in 1865.

Caption For Eamont Bridge, 1893

Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith on the A6, takes its name from this splendid three-arched bridge across the River Eamont.

Behind the tree is the arched entrance to the stable yard of the former Swan Inn, which still has a painted sign 'Ring for Ostler'.

The arches on the front had statues in them, which were destroyed after 1539.

Caption For London, London Bridge C1900

This five-arched granite structure was constructed in 1827 from the designs of John Rennie. Its excessive cost was once the talk of the city.

A priest and historian, amongst his many works was a much-acclaimed eight-volume 'History of England'.

Caption For Leeds, The Town Hall 1894

When Leeds town hall was opened by Queen Victoria, the streets were lined with palm trees and triumphal arches.

Caption For Reading, Bridge 1924

Reading Bridge is an elegant reinforced concrete one, with a single main span and Brunel-like arches on each bank. Opened in 1923, it is an examplar of what can be done in the material.

Caption For Sutton, High Street C1955

The first floor windows are arched and decorated with different coloured bricks, a style known somewhat grandiosely as 'Constructional Polychromy'.

Caption For Aldeburgh, Old Market Square 1929

His poem about the embittered fisherman Peter Grimes inspired an opera by a much later and better known resident, Benjamin Britten.

Caption For London, Tower Bridge 1910

Mock Gothic turrets were added, a profusion of sharply arched windows and much other sham detailing. To many the stupendous structure had the look of an ornate medieval castle.

Caption For London, St Paul's C1890

In the form of a cross, it is built in the Corinthian style, and surmounted by the giant dome which rises on arches over the centre.

Caption For Barnstaple, Bridge 1890

Caption For London, St Paul's C1890

In the form of a cross, it is built in the Corinthian style, and surmounted by the giant dome which rises on arches over the centre.

Caption For Bury St Edmunds, Norman Tower C1955

Much of the Abbey would have been designed with arches, openings and decorations similar to those that survive on the Norman Tower.
