The White Bridge, 150 Metres North East of Blagdon Hall

The White Bridge, located 150 metres northeast of Blagdon Hall, is a footbridge built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from ashlar and cast iron. The bridge features a slightly arched design with open round-ended panels and a long segmental rail beneath a moulded handrail, which is wreathed at both ends. The south abutment includes a round arch made of rusticated voussoirs that leads to a garden path. The abutments and the outswept approach walls are topped with low arched coping that supports plain railings with moulded standards. Each abutment is adorned with corner piers that have moulded caps, which hold marble busts, primarily of members of the Ridley family, created by J.C. Lough. Additionally, on the external face of the south-west approach wall, there is a re-set keyed lintel featuring the MWR monogram and the date 1784.
