Newsham Bridge, Gothic Revival bridge in Brocklesby, England
Newsham Bridge spans 30 meters across Newsham Lake with seven unequal arches constructed from white limestone ashlar and concealed brick extrados.
Built between 1833 and 1836 by architect James Willson, the bridge replaced earlier plans attributed to Capability Brown from the 1770s.
Two full-length statues, male and female, stand in gabled niches on either side of the central arch, referencing the former Premonstratensian Newsham abbey.
The bridge requires ongoing maintenance due to environmental exposure, with a condition survey in 2016 identifying structural issues needing attention.
The structure features five principal arches and two land arches, designed to create reflections in Newsham Lake through its Gothic Revival elements.
