The Old Exe Bridge is a ruined medieval arch bridge in Exeter in south west England. Construction of the bridge began in 1190, and was completed by 1214. The bridge is the oldest surviving bridge of its size in England and the oldest bridge in Britain with a chapel still on it. It replaced several rudimentary crossings which had been in use sporadically since Roman times. The project was the idea of Nicholas and Walter Gervase, father and son and influential local merchants, who travelled the country to raise funds. No known records survive of the bridge's builders. The result was a bridge at least 590 feet (180 metres) long, which probably had 17 or 18 arches, carrying the road diagonally from the west gate of the city wall across the River Exe and its wide, marshy flood plain.

Es el puente más antiguo de su tamaño que se conserva en Inglaterra y el puente más antiguo de Gran Bretaña con una capilla todavía en él. Reemplazó varios cruces rudimentarios que habían estado en uso esporádicamente desde la época romana. El proyecto fue idea de Nicholas y , padre e hijo e influyentes comerciantes locales, que viajaron por el país para recaudar fondos. No sobreviven registros conocidos de los constructores del puente. El resultado fue un puente de al menos 590 pies (180 metros) de largo, que probablemente tenía 17 o 18 arcos, que llevaba la carretera en diagonal desde la puerta oeste de la muralla de la ciuda (es) The Old Exe Bridge is a ruined medieval arch bridge in Exeter in south west England.
