Description
Chipping Hill Bridge is a bridge built in 1770 by bricklayers Charles Malyon and Samuel Humpherys from Witham. It is constructed of red brick with stone coping and features a narrow design with five arches. Each side has a plain brick parapet that projects above the arches, supported by a round brick overhang and a brick band above. Notably, the stone coping includes an inscription carved by two soldiers during the First World War, Privates Edwards and Baylis, who served as range wardens in the 7th Royal Warwick Regiment. The inscription displays the arms of the regiment, their names and roles, several names of Warwickshire towns, and the date 1/6 1915 within a shield.
