Wakerley Bridge is a stone arch bridge located in Northamptonshire that carries a minor road over the River Welland. The bridge dates to the medieval period, with its current form likely established by the 13th or 14th century, though the structure may incorporate earlier fabric. Its single or multiple arches are characteristic of medieval bridge construction in the East Midlands, built to facilitate communication and trade across the river valley. The bridge remains an important example of vernacular medieval engineering and continues to serve as a crossing point in the local landscape.
