Description

The dry arch bridge in Croome Park, built around 1797, is likely the work of James Wyatt. It carries the West drive over a garden walk and features ramped walls made of Bath stone ashlar leading to the sunken walk. The bridge itself has a stone segmental arch, with pilaster strips on the sides and a moulded entablature. A wooden balustrade sits on a stone base above the arch. The faces of the arch are covered in Coade stone vermiculated masonry, which includes a plinth, imposts, and a keystone adorned with a bearded mask. One of the keystones is stamped with "Coade 1797."
