MALTBY ROCHE ABBEY SK58NW 7/52 Pair of bridges immediately to north-west of Abbey house GV II Pair of bridges. C18 and probably c1775 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for the Sandbeck estate of the Earl of Scarbrough. Irregular magnesian limestone blacks, 1 bridge with ashlar voussoirs. 2 single-span bridges flanking a small island in stream to west of Abbey House (q.v.). Western bridge has C18 round arch beneath crudely-set rubble walling; upstream side of bridge collapsed. South side of eastern bridge of c1775 has irregular blacks set in Grotto-style with pendant keystone; dressed wallstone arch soffit flares out upstream. Remnants of the scheme for Roche Abbey carried out by Brown between 1774 and 1777; the contract survives at Sandbeck Park and states that he is "to finish all the Valley of Roach Abbey in all its parts, according to the Ideas fixed on with Lord Scarbrough (with Poet's feeling and with Painter's Eye)". M. Girouard, 'Sandbeck Park, Yorkshire III', Country life, 0ct 21st 1965, pp1024-1027.
