Wansford Bridge is a stone bridge crossing the River Nene in Huntingdonshire, constructed in the medieval period and substantially rebuilt in the eighteenth century. The bridge retains medieval elements in its structure, including pointed arches characteristic of Gothic construction, though much of the visible masonry dates from later restoration and rebuilding campaigns. It represents an important crossing point on a historic route through the Nene Valley and has served as a significant communication link between settlements in the region for centuries. The bridge's successive phases of construction and repair reflect changing engineering practices and the ongoing importance of river crossings to local medieval and post-medieval communities.
