Bridges of Medieval England to c.1250

This Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database collects together information on bridges and on fording points attested in the documentary records and in archaeological surveys in England to the middle of the thirteenth century. By bringing together documentary references, archaeological material and onomastic information this database provides a comprehensive digital resource for the study of this key aspect of the medieval English transport and communications infrastructure. It is part of the Leverhulme Trust funded project 'Travel and Communications in Anglo-Saxon England' conducted at the UCL Institute of Archaeology and the Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham.
