Bridge. Early C18, possibly by Thomas Archer for Charles Talbot first Duke of Shrewsbury. Limestone ashlar. Baroque style. Bridge has three widely-spaced arches linked by a convex string, the outer arches semi-circular, the central opening wider with a depressed arch; all have double-stepped keyblocks and intermittent voussoirs projecting from an arched band. The solid straight parapet rises over the central arch and curves outwards at the ends. The bridge now forms a dam retaining the waters of the lake created c.1750.

(Heythrop Park is included at Grade II* in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens; VCH: Oxfordshire: Vol II, p131)
