BRIDGE. An iron footbridge, probably dating from the second quarter of the 19th century, is situated l00m S of the house, where a path from the garden was carried obliquely across a sunken estate-road. It is approached from the E by five stone steps, and is 4.3m in span and 2m wide. Three cast-iron beams, segmentally arched on the under-side, carried the roadway, which does not survive. The outer faces of the beams are ornamented with saltires alternating with faceted squares, and carry ornamental railings.
