Brampton with Stoven is a civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) south of the town of Beccles and 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Halesworth, with an area of 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi).[1][2] The parish was formed in 1987 from the parishes of Brampton and Stoven,[3] and the two villages are the major population centres in the parish, with Brampton the larger centre with almost all of the parishes services.[2] It borders the parishes of Sotterley, Uggeshall, Sotherton, Westhall, Ilketshall St Andrew and Shadingfield.[1]
At the 2011 census the population of the parish was 427, down from a mid-2005 population estimate of 460.[a][1][4] A 2016 estimate suggested the population had fallen further to 411.[2]
The A145 road passes north–south through the parish, linking Beccles to the A12 at Blythburgh to the south. The East Suffolk Line also runs north–south through the parish, with a request stop at Brampton railway station.[2]
Notes
[edit]- ^ 2011 United Kingdom census population data from the Office for National Statistics used a 'best-fit' method and, as a result, does not necessarily map exactly to parish boundaries.[1]
