Village and parish in West Sussex, England

Bramber

Bramber is a former manor, village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England.

It has a ruined medieval castle which was the caput of a large feudal barony. Bramber is located on the northern edge of the South Downs and on the west side of the River Adur. Nearby are the communities of Steyning to the west and Upper Beeding to the east, and the other side of the river. The closest historical connection, however, is with the village of Botolphs to the south.
