Could Brampton be hiding the fortune of diarist Samuel Pepys? The legend of this quaint village on the outskirts of Huntingdon shows there’s more to it than meets the eye.
Historically, Brampton was known as Brantune (11th Century), Brantone or Bramptone (12th–13th centuries), and Brauntone or Brampton (13th Century).
Scattered human remains dating back 1600 to 2000 years have been found in a few of the gardens of houses near the local primary school.
Brampton had associations with the diarist and naval administrator Samuel Pepys - with legend having it that his fortune is buried somewhere in the village.
