Description
Hewell Grange features a cast iron bridge built around 1820, created by the Horseley Foundry. The bridge is primarily made of cast iron, supported by masonry abutments. It is oriented roughly from north-east to south-west and consists of a single span.
The design includes concentric rings between the main sections of the iron arches, which taper towards the center of the bridge, topped by tall parapets. The arches rise from stone abutments made of dressed ashlar, which curve outward to form retaining walls on either side. The parapets are made of tall iron railings with pointed finials, featuring taller posts at regular intervals and square sections at each end of the flank walls that mark the bridge's boundaries. Additionally, iron anchor points fixed in the abutments provide extra support, and there are wrought iron fixings beneath the bridge deck that help secure the structure.
