Clopton Bridge is a stone bridge spanning the River Avon near Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, dating from the late fifteenth century. The bridge was constructed in the 1480s under the patronage of Hugh Clopton, a wealthy merchant and later Lord Mayor of London, who invested substantially in the development of Stratford. Built in stone with multiple arches, it represents a significant example of late medieval bridge engineering and remains largely intact. The bridge has been essential to the town's communications and prosperity for over five centuries, serving as a vital crossing point on what became a major route through the region.
