Wroxham Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Bure in Norfolk, England. The structure dates from the fourteenth century and represents an important example of medieval bridge engineering in East Anglia. The bridge is constructed of brick and stone, features a single arch spanning the river, and has been substantially rebuilt and repaired over the centuries whilst retaining its essential medieval character. Its position on a major river crossing made it strategically and economically significant to the surrounding communities and trade routes of medieval Norfolk.
