What is recorded here

Single-arch estate bridge, built c.1780, over Finnow Stream. Coursed squared snecked limestone parapet walls with peck-dressed flat limestone copings and string courses, terminating in square-plan piers. Round arch having tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs.
The addition of lightly-tooled copings to the parapets and finely executed limestone voussoirs provides rich textural interest to this bridge. The ashlar work is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen and the bridge forms part of a group of structures associated with Longueville House, and serving to illustrate the rich and varied nature of demesne architecture in the area.
