New Bridge is a stone bridge crossing the River Thames near Moulsford in Berkshire, constructed in the fourteenth century. The bridge comprises a single pointed arch of considerable span, built in the Perpendicular Gothic period and representing an important example of medieval river crossing engineering. It was substantially rebuilt and widened during the eighteenth century, though its fundamental medieval structure and character remain evident. The bridge has served as a key crossing point on the Thames for nearly seven centuries and retains significance as a monument to medieval civil engineering and transport infrastructure.
