St Ives Bridge is a medieval bridge spanning the River Ouse at St Ives in Huntingdonshire. The structure dates from the fourteenth century and represents an important surviving example of medieval bridge engineering. The bridge features a series of stone arches and incorporates a small chapel dedicated to Saint Leger, which was built upon the bridge itself in a manner characteristic of certain medieval crossing points. This combination of functional bridge and sacred space reflects the religious significance attributed to major river crossings during the medieval period and demonstrates the bridge's importance as a focal point in the town's medieval topography.
