Hewell Grange: Bridge adjacent to the tennis court

A bridge probably dating from the 1820s, forming part of Humphry Repton's proposals for Hewell Grange, and probably built by Thomas Cundy.

MATERIALS AND PLAN The bridge is built of stone, with some concrete block work to the parapets. It is orientated north-east to south-west, and provides pedestrian access to the adjacent tennis court, while a southern drive runs underneath it.

DESCRIPTION The bridge is a single span structure, and is constructed of ashlar stone. The voussoirs of the arch are slightly rusticated, and there are projecting keystones on each face. The original parapet of stone balusters has been lost, although its plinth partially remains and is now topped by concrete blockwork. There are circular stone bollards at the foot of each arch.

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) (b) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ('the Act'), it is declared that the modern blockwork parapets are not of special architectural or historic interest.
