Families covered: Brampton of Brampton (Norfolk)
| We have seen the suggestion that the name Brampton probably came from brom-tun and meant a hill (or other place) where they grew broom, a much-used plant (see the note at the top of Plantagenet1), and was taken by hamlets & villages in various counties including Cambridgeshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Huntingdonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk & Yorkshire (though it appears that not all of them survive). This means that it is likely that many of the Brampton families which have took their name from their early location were unrelated. For example, the following family appears to have originated in Norfolk and is probably not connected to the one shown on BZmisc11 which appears to have been based in Shropshire. | |||||||||||||||
