 Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Brampton!
The market town of Brampton, in northeast Cumbria, was
founded in the 7th century. A wide and partly cobbled main street
was ideal for the market, first held in 1252, its charter granted
by Henry III. James I also granted a charter in 1606, a copy
of which is at the Moot Hall. In addition to the markets, four
annual fairs were held. The octagonal Moot Hall, built in 1817
by the Earl of Lancaster, graces the market place. Pointed windows,
a square turret and external stairs remain, but the open arcaded
market area below-a former poultry, butter and egg market-was
enclosed in 1896. Historic buildings, many of local red sandstone,
decorate the town's streets. |
