Description

Hewell Grange features a cast iron footbridge built around 1820, designed according to Humphry Repton's proposals for the estate. The bridge is oriented from the north-east to the south-west and spans a small section of water, connecting the lawns near the early 18th-century house to a small island in the lake.

This single span structure has slender iron railings forming two parapets on each side. At each end, there are thicker posts topped with ball finials, and in the center, paired posts indicate where gates once stood, although these are now missing. The bases for the stanchions remain visible.
