Medieval bridge
The bridge from the Well Hall frontage into Moat Island dates back to the 16th century. Eltham is uniquely bestowed with two ancient bridges, the other at the entrance to Eltham Palace. The one in the Pleasaunce is a stone bridge of two arches with red vrick parapets. Sadly, duckweed clogs the Moat at this point for most of the year, giving a neglected appearance to visitors. The Friends are trying to persuade the council's Parks Department of the need to clear this regularly.
