Prebend's Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Wear in Durham. The bridge dates from the fourteenth century and represents an important example of medieval river crossing infrastructure serving the cathedral precinct. Constructed in ashlar masonry with a single arch, the bridge connected the cathedral and its associated properties with lands on the opposite bank of the river. The structure survives as a testament to medieval engineering and the administrative infrastructure that supported Durham Cathedral's considerable landholdings and operations.
