Overview

History & significance

Trotton Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Rother in West Sussex, England. Dating to the fourteenth century, it is constructed of stone with a single arch and represents an important example of medieval river crossing infrastructure in the South of England. The bridge features cutwaters on its upstream face, a characteristic defensive feature of medieval bridge design that helped protect the structure from debris and flood damage. It retains much of its original medieval fabric and remains a significant survival of vernacular bridge engineering from the period.
