What is recorded here
Single-arch stone road bridge, built c.1800, carrying public road over private road. Squared rubble stone abutments, spandrels and low parapet. Segmental arch with cut-stone voussoirs, roughly squared rubble stone barrel with remains of render. Squared rubble stone to long wing-walls supporting the approach road.
An attractive and robust bridge which retains its early form and character. Its arched opening connects the northern and southern parts of the Farnham demesne. Interesting, the public road cuts through the demesne, quite close to the main house. Usually public roads circumvented grand demesnes, and were at a distance from the house. The stonework is clearly to work of skilled masons and the bridge is an interesting addition to the county's civil engineering heritage.
