Brackley
Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire. It is approximately 19 miles (31 km) from Oxford and 22 miles (35 km) from Northampton. Traditionally a market town based on the wool and lace trade, it was founded around the intersection of trade routes between London, Birmingham and the English Midlands and between Cambridge and Oxford. Brackley has a resident population of around 13,000 (2011 Census) which has increased considerably from 2,467 in 1901. The town was the site of a historically significant meeting amongst 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 Member of Parliament for the constituency of Brackley. Brackley is near the Silverstone racing circuit, and has some industry associated with Formula One racing, notably the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team which is based within the town, and also the Force India F1 team which uses a wind tunnel on the old site of the north railway station. On the east edge of the town is H. Bronnley & Co., producers 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 still running in Northamptonshire. Their history goes back to the 1600s when a solid silver communion plate was given to the parish. The plate which remains 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 boasts football, rugby and tennis clubs. For all your home upgrades, make certain that you use reliable pros in Brackley to make sure you get a top quality service.
