Moat Bridge And Walls About 16 Yards South-West Of Moor Hall

Moat bridge and walls located about 16 yards south-west of Moor Hall date from the late 17th century, with repairs made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. They are constructed from handmade brick, featuring some blue brick repairs and sandstone coping. The bridge is approximately two yards wide and ten yards long, with an elliptical archway and low parapets that stand about one foot high. At its north-east end, the bridge connects to the moat walls. One wall extends about 30 yards north-west before turning north-east for about 20 yards, while the other wall runs south-east for about 25 yards, rising to about five feet before returning north-east for about 26 yards. These moat bridge and walls are important for the setting of the main front of Moor Hall and help define the historic site. They are included for their group value.
