Before Teddington Lock was constructed in 1811, the river was tidal as far as Kingston.
Its buildings range in date from late mediaeval timber frames to early 19th-century flat-fronted brick houses, some at its northern end opening onto the River Lea.
The Guildhall, dedicated to the Trinity, was built by parish subscription and a legacy from Nicholas Wickham in 1523.
Bramber is located at the foot of a Norman castle guarding the tidal River Adur. The castle was stormed and wrecked by the Parliamentarians in the Civil War, in 1641.
The old village consists of a number of small, picturesque thatched and timber-framed cottages to the west of the church and along a lane running west from the river bridge.

As can be seen here, the river formed part of the castle's defences. The landward defences included a moat, a drawbridge and a barbican.
Forming a picturesque scene near Askham, the bridge arches over the River Lowther whose waters have their origin in the north-east Lakeland fells above Shap.
