Bramshaw is a small village in Hampshire, England. It lies just inside the New Forest. The name Bramshaw means Bramble Wood.
Bramshaw was once split in two, one half in Wiltshire and the other in Hampshire, by a boundary line that ran through the churchyard. When the 'County of Southampton Act 1894' came all of the village became part of Hampshire. The separate parish councils, one for Bramshaw (West) and one for Bramshaw (East), remained until 1932 when they were combined.
The Admiralty Shutter Telegraph Line had a [1]station at Bramshaw.
