Gisbourne and Henry Ayer, Esquires. 
430, for the repair of Monk’s Bridge. 
Easter Session.—The Justices of the Peace are 
cautioned to receive proposals for the repair of 
Monk’s Bridge. 
Authorize £40 to be spent on the repair. 
Michaelmas Session.—At last Session, adjourned 
16th Sept., the Justices ordered £95 1s. 8d. 
for repair of Monk’s Bridge, for repairs and water 
works of Bridge, as a delay of these works 
would endanger the bridge by the river gaining 
a new course at south west end. It now 
appears that the estimate was extravagant, and 
it appears all the said repairs could be done 
for £42. Edgar How, of Derby, undertakes 
to do the works.” 
However, the repairs do not seem to have cost less, for in 
St 749. 
Martimas Session.—£96 7s. 6d. paid to Henry 
How for repairs.” 
I was in hopes of finding these specified, for on the 
key stone of the second Derbyshire arch, on the south 
side of the bridge, is the date 1749.
