Footbridge, Manor House demesne, Manor Farm, Loughgall, Co Armagh

This is a Victorian footbridge, likely built between 1840 and 1859, located within the grounds of Loughgall Manor House. It links two sections of the gardens within the demesne and is marked on an Ordnance Survey map of 1860. The bridge is constructed with limestone rubble and features a single, elliptical archway carrying a footpath over a roadway cutting, aligned east to west. The footpath is slightly humped and protected on both sides by decorative cast iron railings with a wrought iron handrail, featuring curved returns at each end. The bridge abutments are flanked by slightly battered rubble retaining walls supporting the roadway cutting. The setting is within the landscaped demesne, surrounded by mature trees and plantings. The roadway crossed by the bridge runs from the former stable yard towards a peripheral estate road to the north. The listing includes the footbridge, steps, and abutments. The bridge’s architectural interest lies in its style, proportions, ornamentation, plan form, structural system, setting, and group value, while its historical interest relates to local significance and possible authorship.
