Brampton is a village and former civil parish in the English county of Suffolk, located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north east of Halesworth, 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Beccles and 5 miles (8.0 km) north west of Southwold. In 1961 the parish had a population of 306.[1] In 1987 the parish was merged with Stoven to form Brampton with Stoven parish[2] and the mid-2005 population estimate for the expanded parish was 460.[3]
Stoven is located just to the east, Uggeshall to the south-east and Shadingfield to the north. The village is served by Brampton railway station, around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the village, on the Ipswich-Lowestoft East Suffolk Line. The A145 road divides the village and passes the village church which is Grade I listed and dedicated to St Peter.[4] Areas of housing, including at Brampton Street, are clustered on either side of the road throughout the parish area. Brampton Primary School serves the village and the surrounding area.[5]
Brampton Hall is a listed country house built in 1794 of red brick for the Leman family who had long associations in the area.[6] The previous Brampton Hall burned down in 1733.[7] A 16th century farmhouse was built on the same site, known as Brampton Old Hall. Both buildings are Grade II listed.[8][9]
