Description
This bridge, located approximately 200 metres north of Rough House, spans the River Skell and dates from the mid to late 18th century. It was likely constructed for John or William Aislabie of Studley Royal. The bridge is made of ashlar and features three round arches, each with keystones and voussoirs. It has triangular cutwaters, with those on the downstream side extending upward as shallow buttresses topped with pyramidal capstones, which are set on a moulded parapet coping. There is a projecting band at pathway level, with terminals on the flanking walls. This bridge is a smaller version of the larger structures built around 1780 at Bridge Hewick and Boroughbridge, and its capstone resembles that of the Aldfield Well. The pathway likely served as a route from Studley Royal to Rough House, and along with Rough House and Aldfield Well, the bridge is part of the western edge of the landscaping of the Studley Royal estate. It also straddles the boundary with Aldfield parish.
