Brackley
Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire. It's around 19 miles (31 kilometres) from Oxford and 22 miles (35 km) from Northampton. Historically a market town which focused on the wool and lace trade, it was constructed on the intersecting trade routes between London, Birmingham and the English Midlands and in between Cambridge and Oxford. Brackley has a permanent resident population of roughly 13,018 (2011 Census) which has risen from 2,467 in 1901. The town was the site of a historically significant meeting among the barons and representatives of the King in 1215, the year of the Magna Carta. In 1602, the metaphysical poet John Donne was elected as MP for the Brackley constituency. Brackley is close to the Silverstone racing circuit, and has some industry associated with Formula One racing, particularly the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team which is based in the town, and the Force India F1 team which runs a wind tunnel on the former site of the north railway station. On the east edge of the town is H. Bronnley & Co., manufacturers of hand-made soaps who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment for supplying Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales. The Brackley Morris Men are one of only 7 'traditional Cotswold' Morris dancing sides remaining in England and the only one to survive in Northamptonshire. Their history goes back to the 1600s when a solid silver communion plate was given to the parish. The plate which is still in the possession of St Peters Church is dated 1623, and is inscribed with the names of seven men, whom local folklore believes to have been the morris dancers. Brackley provides football, rugby and tennis clubs. For all your house improvement jobs, be certain that you select reliable pros in Brackley to make sure that you get a great quality service.
