Bridges of Medieval England to c.1250

This dataset, in ArcGIS shapefile and text (TXT) formats, brings together information on medieval bridges attested in written records and archaeological surveys in England to the middle of the thirteenth century. By combining documentary references, archaeological material and place-name evidence, this database provides a comprehensive digital resource for the study of this key aspect of medieval English transport and communications infrastructure. It was produced as part of the Travel and Communication in Anglo-Saxon England project conducted at the UCL Institute of Archaeology and the Institute for Name Studies, University of Nottingham.
