Brampton has been a market town since King Henry III granted its charter in 1252, and its market place still centres on the Moot Hall — a building with a history that includes serving as one of Oliver Cromwell's prisons.
A market charter from 1252, and Cromwell's prisoners
Settled by the Angles as early as the 7th century, Brampton was granted its market charter by Henry III in 1252. Its Moot Hall has stood at the heart of the market place since 1648, when Oliver Cromwell used the site to imprison 40 men; the present building dates from 1817 and was built for Lord Carlisle.
A church built by the Pre-Raphaelites
Brampton's St Martin's Church is the only church designed by Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and it holds a set of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and made at William Morris's studio. The town sits just two miles south of Hadrian's Wall, with growth later boosted by the 1758 military road to Newcastle and an 18th-century cotton-weaving trade.

Brampton's history is built on market charters and Pre-Raphaelite stained glass, not confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Cumbria and the UK.
