Irthlingborough Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Nene in Northamptonshire. The bridge dates from the fourteenth century and represents an important example of medieval bridge construction in the East Midlands region. Built with multiple arches of coursed stone, the structure reflects the engineering practices of its period and would have served a significant role in local transport networks connecting settlements across the river. The bridge remains substantially intact, preserving evidence of medieval masonry techniques and the strategic importance of river crossings in medieval Northamptonshire's infrastructure.
