High Bridge is a medieval bridge located in Yorkshire, England, which carries a roadway across a watercourse. The structure dates to the medieval period, likely constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, though precise dating requires examination of its masonry and construction techniques. The bridge is built of stone and retains features characteristic of medieval bridge engineering, including a narrow carriageway and arched span typical of crossings constructed during this era. As a surviving example of medieval infrastructure, High Bridge contributes to understanding rural communications networks and construction practices in medieval Yorkshire.
