Brampton with Stoven is a civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located 6miles south of the town of Beccles and 4miles north-east of Halesworth, with an area of 12km2.[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.[1] [4] A 2016 estimate suggested the population had fallen further to 411.[2]
