was curious about 'Bramleys' so googled:

   Bramley's superior taste qualities and tangy, 'appley' cooking properties have helped to ensure its popularity with cooks of all ages and abilities since it was discovered in the 1850's in a Nottinghamshire garden. The original tree - planted in 1809 from seed - still bears fruit today.

Hey Bert! How does it compare to a greening or a Granny smith?
