What is recorded here

Warwick Castle Old Bridge (remains of) still lies beneath the town as a scheduled monument, though no intact span crosses the water where it once did. The castle needed a bridge strong enough for carts, riders and visitors, so men built one across the river and the river took it back. Stones sank, joints cracked or the whole deck disappeared when the castle changed, the river changed or the town stopped needing that crossing. What remains is not a display but a warning: even a place important enough to protect may have lost the part everyone first imagined.

The National Heritage List for England records Warwick Castle Old Bridge (remains of) as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Warwick Castle Old Bridge was built in the 13th century, likely under the de Montfort family, who held the castle during the medieval period. It is remembered as an important historical structure associated with the strategic and military significance of Warwick Castle.
