Description

This is a bridge built in the early 18th century, possibly designed by Thomas Archer for Charles Talbot, the 1st Duke of Shrewsbury. It is made of limestone ashlar and features a Baroque style. The bridge has three widely spaced arches connected by a convex string. The outer arches are semi-circular, while the central opening is wider with a depressed arch. All arches have double-stepped keyblocks and intermittent voussoirs that project from an arched band. The solid straight parapet rises over the central arch and curves outward at both ends. Currently, the bridge serves as a dam that retains the waters of a lake created around 1750. Heythrop Park, where the bridge is located, is listed at Grade II* in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens.
