Long Description:The green-domed building away to the east is Tyringham Hall, built
by Sir John Soane in 1793-7, but much altered since. It is now a
naturopathic clinic. The arched gatehouse, also visible, was
praised by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "a monument of European
importance". The bridge was also built in this era and is a
humpback design.
There have been several incidents at Tyringham bridge resulting
in a ban of swimming in the river and jumping from the bridge. It
is dangerous to do so here.
Just along the road is the church of St Peter to both the
village of Tyringham and Filgrave, an equally small, rural location
along the narrow country lane.
