Description
3P4735 ADDERBURY OXFORD ROAD Adderbury East 7/99 Duchess Bridge and flanking walls
II Road bridge. Probably mid C18 for the Duke of Buccleuch. Marlstone ashlar. Depressed arch has rusticated voussoirs, alternately longer and shorter; eastern arch was formerly flanked by blind keyed occuli, only one of which remains. Plain parapet, rising from and parallel to a band, cants over the arch, and is terminated by square piers, on the western side flanked by matching walling and further piers extending approximately 18 metres to south and north. Eastern parapet has been raised. The bridge forms a feature in the grounds of Adderbury House (q.v.). The Duke of Buccleuch employed Capability Brown in the development off the former park.
