Charlecote Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Avon near Charlecote Park in Warwickshire. The structure dates from the fifteenth century and represents a significant example of late medieval bridge engineering in the region. The bridge is constructed of stone with multiple arches and has been substantially rebuilt and modified over subsequent centuries, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, though it retains medieval fabric in its core structure. It remains an important crossing point and is historically associated with the Charlecote estate, which has been held by the Lucy family since the twelfth century.
