Description
The bridge adjacent to the tennis court at Hewell Grange likely dates from the 1820s and is part of Humphry Repton's designs for the estate, probably constructed by Thomas Cundy.
This stone bridge, with some concrete block work on the parapets, is oriented from north-east to south-west and provides pedestrian access to the nearby tennis court, while a southern drive runs underneath it. It is a single span structure made of ashlar stone, featuring slightly rusticated voussoirs in the arch and projecting keystones on each face. Although the original stone baluster parapet has been lost, its plinth remains and is now topped with concrete blockwork. Circular stone bollards are located at the foot of each arch.
The modern blockwork parapets are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
