Description
Cascade Bridge and weir in Bretton Park were likely constructed between 1777 and 1782 for Sir Thomas Wentworth. The structure is made of ashlar and features a flat span supported by short stone piers, allowing water to flow beneath. Above a string course, there is a series of sunk panels separated by additional piers. The iron railings, which are probably from the late 19th century, consist of plain rails with geometric design panels and small urn-like finials. At the north end, the railings curve to meet small, square ashlar piers. The weir has a closely stepped centre and curves around at each end with deeper steps.
