Trinity Bridge is a medieval bridge located in Crowland, Lincolnshire, England. The bridge dates from the fourteenth century and is a distinctive triangular structure with three arches, each spanning different watercourses that formerly converged at this point. It was constructed to serve the substantial Abbey of Crowland and its community, and its unusual three-sided design reflects the practical engineering solution required to cross the multiple water channels that characterised the fenland landscape. The bridge survives as a notable example of medieval engineering adapted to the specific topographical challenges of the Lincolnshire Fens.
