Clopton Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
The Clopton Bridge spans the River Avon with fourteen pointed arches constructed from masonry, connecting both sides of Stratford-upon-Avon since the 15th century.
Hugh Clopton, who later became Lord Mayor of London, funded the construction of this stone bridge around 1484 to replace an earlier wooden structure from 1235.
The bridge's strategic position led to the destruction of one arch in 1642 to prevent Oliver Cromwell's army from crossing during the English Civil War.
The structure supports the A3400 road and includes a cast-iron footbridge added in 1827 to accommodate both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the river.
A ten-sided toll-house tower was constructed on the bridge in 1814, marking a period when travelers paid fees to cross this essential river connection.
