About the battle
The Battle of Bramber Bridge was a minor skirmish that took place on 13 December 1643, during the First English Civil War. A Royalist detachment from Arundel attempted to secure the bridge over the River Adur at Bramber in West Sussex, but found a Parliamentarian force already in possession.
The Royalists attempted to find another crossing point, but were ordered back to Arundel, after learning of the loss of Alton the same night.
