c.1900 and inspired by the original Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College, Cambridge, the Mathematical Bridge at Wightwick Manor and Gardens has long been a treasured feature of the estate. Both Theodore and Geoffrey Mander, former owners of Wightwick Manor, who studied at Queens' College, were instrumental in adding this unique structure to the grounds of their family home. Spanning Wightwick Bank and connecting the main gardens to a small woodland area, the bridge has captivated visitors with its elegant and geometrical design.

Although the bridge was rebuilt in 1949 to raise its centre for bus clearance and underwent strengthening in 1978 and 1992, it has been closed to the public since 2019 due to significant deterioration. Now, following the completion of an extensive conservation project, the bridge has been fully restored to its former glory and reopened to visitors, once again on 22 January 2025, serving as a highlight of Wightwick Manor & Gardens.
