GV II

Bridge over River Skell. Mid to late C18, probably for John or William
Aislabie of Studley Royal. Ashlar. 3 round arches with keystones and
voussoirs; triangular cutwaters, those on downstream side carried up as
shallow buttresses with pyramidal capstones on moulded parapet coping.
Projecting band at pathway level, terminals to flanking walls. The bridge
is a miniature version of the much larger structures of c1780 at Bridge
Hewick (qv) and Boroughbridge (qv, repairs by John Carr), and the capstone
to the Aldfield Well (qv) is similar in style. The pathway was probably a
route from Studley Royal to Rough House and together with Rough House (qv)
and Aldfield Well (qv) the bridge forms part of the western extreme of the
Studley Royal estate landscaping. Straddles the boundary with Aldfield
parish.
