Description
The bridge, located about 300 meters east of Helmingham Hall, was likely built around 1800 as part of the improvements made to Helmingham Hall by John Nash. It is constructed of red brick and features a causeway approximately 4 meters wide. The bridge has a tall semicircular arch that spans a small stream. The parapets are about 1 meter high and have gabled brick copings, with the parapets splayed outwards at the approaches. Square terminal piers support the bridge, each topped with pyramid finials and coped gables at the base, resembling the bridge piers found in the moat surrounding Helmingham Hall. This bridge carries a path that connects Helmingham Hall to the Parish Church and serves as an important landscape feature of the Park.
