Shurton: village of many footbridges

The small village of Shurton near Stogursey has five interesting stone footbridges over Bayley's Brook, which runs through the village.  The bridges are close together.  The one leading to Ashforde House is definitely private.  I think the one next to Thatch End is too.  The other three are definitely public.  Two have single spans and one has a double span.

This private bridge leads to Ashforde House

I think this 18th century bridge next to a house called Thatch End is private.
