Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge is a village and civil parish on the River Derwent in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, approximately 5 miles east of York and 22 miles west of Driffield. The village lies on the borders with the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire and with the City of York unitary authority.

The Romans established a fort here about 70 AD, around which later developed a large linear civilian settlement focused on a bridge one mile south of the present town. Iter I of the Antonine Itinerary lists "Derventio" as being seven Roman miles from Eboracum which matches the distance from York. In relation to known discoveries under the town of Malton, antiquaries always assumed that Malton should be called Derventio. The remains at Stamford Bridge were not known to them, lying undiscovered under arable and pasture fields until quite recently.
