Fotheringhay Bridge is a medieval bridge spanning the River Nene in Northamptonshire, located near the historic castle and collegiate church of Fotheringhay. The structure dates from the fifteenth century and represents an important example of late medieval bridge construction in the East Midlands. Built in stone with multiple arches, the bridge formed a key element of the local infrastructure serving the important Yorkist stronghold at Fotheringhay. The bridge survives substantially intact and remains a notable monument of its period, reflecting the investment in infrastructure associated with the significant royal and noble patronage of the site during the late medieval period.
