Description

The bridge over Willow Brook, located on Bridge Street in Apethorpe, is likely from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a single semi-circular arch with a raised band above. The bridge has a plain parapet. It was probably built after the enclosure of 1778, which led to the creation of the current road to Woodnewton.
