Description

Sham Bridge is a late 18th-century weir located at the north end of the Pool in Chillington Park, Brewood. It is constructed of ashlar and features five semi-circular arches. There is a pillar at each end topped with a shallow pyramidal cap, and a coped parapet that is supported on corbels.
