She was born in Eltham, London on 10 November 1480, and was baptised by Edward Story, Bishop of Chichester on 11 November 1480.
Her godmothers at the baptismal fount were her paternal grandmother, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, and her oldest sister, Elizabeth of York.
Her godfather was William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester.
Bridget's aunt Margaret, Lady Maltravers, served as her godmother at her confirmation.
Bridget was likely named after St. Bridget of Sweden.
Her parents may have decided at the time of her birth that this daughter would be dedicated to a religious life, and Princess Bridget was entrusted to Dartford Priory, Dartford, Kent sometime between 1486 and 1492.
She became a nun.
Bridget maintained correspondence throughout her life with her sister Elizabeth of York, who also paid for her various minor expenses, as well as minor expenses of the orphaned Agnes of Eltham.
After Bridget's sister, Elizabeth of York, married Henry VII, Elizabeth paid some of Bridget's expenses and kept in touch with her via messengers.
Bridget is known to have left Dartford on at least one occasion, when she attended the funeral of her mother, Elizabeth Woodville, in 1492.
She died about 1517.

She was born in Winchester Castle but died of natural causes eight months later.
She was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Margaret's sarcophagus was originally placed to fit in the steps of the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, but it was moved to the edge of the chapel at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries.
The step edging around the sides can, however, still be seen.
An annotated history of the Abbey in the Abbey's library states that the lid was removed in more modern times and the sarcophagus found to be empty.
The monumental brass originally on the top of Margaret's tomb is long since missing, but the original wording around the edge and on the surface plaque was recorded historically.

Edward IV of England
Edward IV (28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 to 3 October 1470, and again from 11 April 1471 until his death.
His father, Richard of York, leader of the Yorkist faction, was a lineal descendant of Edward III and until 1453, heir presumptive to Henry VI, from the ruling House of Lancaster, or Lancastrians.
Less than a year old when he came to the throne in September 1422
, Henry's minority was marked by political infighting within the Regency council.
After 1437, he ruled in his own right but his weak and indecisive personality did little to mitigate factional conflict.
Shortly after the birth of his son Edward of Westminster in 1453, Henry suffered a complete mental breakdown and the government descended into chaos.
Conflict between Yorkists and Lancastrians led to civil war in 1455.
This continued intermittently until 1485 and is collectively known as The Wars of the Roses.
After Richard was executed in December 1460, Edward became head of the family; with the support of the Earl of Warwick, or 'The Kingmaker', he deposed Henry and was crowned king in June 1461.
Divisions developed after Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464; Warwick switched sides in 1470 and restored Henry to the throne.
Edward fled to Flanders, but returned to England in March 1471, winning victories at Barnet in April and Tewkesbury in
May. Warwick, Henry's heir Edward of Westminster and other senior Lancastrians were killed, while Henry died in the Tower of London a few days later.
England remained relatively peaceful until Edward's death in 1483.
His two minor sons, Edward and Richard were subsequently declared illegitimate by his younger brother, the Duke of Gloucester, who became Richard III.
