Have a look through the sites on this link:

I have used http://www.keepers-nursery.co.uk/ and they were very good.

Don't whatever you do try to grow Bramley as an espalier - it won't work as they are partial tip bearers. You need to choose spur bearing types.
I have used Keepers, Buckingham and Marshalls via mail order all good.
This link might help too.
