Description
Yarningale Aqueduct is an aqueduct built in 1834. It features a cast-iron trough that includes an integral towpath, complete with iron railings, a moulded handrail, and brackets. The structure is supported by brick abutments topped with stone coping. On the west side of the aqueduct, there are two small plates; one is inscribed with 'HORSELEY IRON CO', and the other, located just below, is inscribed with '1834'. This aqueduct was built to replace an earlier one that had collapsed.
The South Stratford Canal, which the aqueduct serves, was constructed between 1793 and 1816 at a cost of £500,000. In 1960, the National Trust leased 13.5 miles of the canal from Kingswood Junction, Lapworth to Stratford-upon-Avon from the British Waterways Board for restoration, and they acquired the freehold around 1964.
