Description
Hinwick Bridge is a bridge built in 1779 by Mr. Orlebar, the owner of Hinwick House. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features rubble stone gable coping on the parapet. The bridge has three arches that are divided into three orders, with plain keystones and carved human heads positioned above them. Additionally, there are cutwaters on the southwest side.
