Rotherham Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Rotherham, England
The sandstone bridge spans the River Don with three piers, featuring distinct cutwaters and a chapel structure integrated into its design.
Built in 1483, the bridge replaced an earlier structure mentioned in documents from 1385, serving as the main route from London to Richmond.
The bridge chapel, which transformed from a religious site to an almshouse, jail, and shop, represents social changes in English society through centuries.
Regular maintenance ensures the bridge continues to function as a crossing point while preserving its Grade I listed status and scheduled monument designation.
The structure includes one of only two surviving bridge chapels in England, with an accessible undercroft containing original cell doors.
