Bishop's Stortford Pipe Bridge carries a farm track over the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) just past the junction with The River St Helens Navigation.
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.

There is a bridge here which takes a pipe over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Bishop's Stortford Pipe Bridge
A bishop is an ordained, consecrated, or appointed member of the Christian clergy who is generally entrusted with a position of authority and oversight.
Within the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Moravian, Anglican, Old Catholic and Independent Catholic churches, as well as the Assyrian Church of the East, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles. Within these churches, bishops are seen as those who possess the full priesthood and can ordain clergy, including other bishops. Some Protestant churches, including the Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist churches, have bishops serving similar functions as well, though not always understood to be within apostolic succession in the same way. A person ordained as a deacon, priest, and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the (ministerial) priesthood, given responsibility by Christ to govern, teach, and sanctify the Body of Christ. Priests, deacons and lay ministers co-operate and assist their bishops in pastoral ministry.
