History

The bridge may be early C18 like the house, but the iron railings are probably part of the later C19 remodelling.

Exterior

Low flat-decked bridge of coursed masonry. Round arch with voussoirs, above which is a substantial string course of dressed stone blocks with margin draughting, supporting decorative iron railings. The railings have 4 panels to each side with diagonal struts and a geometrical motif in the centre. The posts have turned finials.
