Bramber is a former manor, village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. It has a ruined mediaeval 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. The ecclesiastical parishes of Bramber and Botolphs were united possibly as early as 1526, but certainly by 1534 with the priest living at Botolphs. Later the priest's official residence became the imposing Bramber mansion and landmark now called 'Burletts' and located on Clays Hill. The union of the civil parish councils followed 400 years later in 1933.

““Child,
why do you waste your time
on childish things alone?”
“Clothe yourself in anger.”
“Take courage,
and cast off this honesty
toward your lover.”
When her girlfriends
gave her such advice,
she answered,
her face frightened,
“Speak softly.
The lord of my breath
is still in my heart.
No doubt he’ll hear you.””
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.”
—William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
