Bishop Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. Dating from the 14th century, it is constructed of flint and stone and features a single arch of considerable span. The bridge was built to provide a crossing point between the cathedral precinct and the wider city, reflecting the ecclesiastical importance of the bishop's authority in medieval Norwich. Its robust construction and architectural character represent significant medieval engineering and remain substantially intact, making it an important example of urban infrastructure from the later Middle Ages.
