===The Town Gun=== The town possesses a gun. It is a brass piece, made in 1549 by the Owine Brothers, John and Robert, so that the town might be defended from French invasion. The gun was never used in action, but was taken to the top of [[Brading Down]] in 1832 so that it could be fired to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill. Unfortunately it exploded and split, putting a stop to celebrations for the day. It is currently kept at the coach house at [[Nunwell House]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bradingcommunityarchive.com/the-gun-shed-in-1983-before-restoration-2/ |title=The gun shed in 1983 before restoration|publisher=Brading Community Archive|access-date=30 June 2024}}</ref>
