Brackley

Brackley is a town within south Northamptonshire. It's around 19 miles (31 km) from Oxford and 22 miles (35 kilometres) from Northampton. Originally a market town primarily based on the wool and lace trade, it was built on the intersection of trade routes between London, Birmingham and the English Midlands and in between Cambridge and Oxford. Brackley has a permanent resident population of about 13,000 (2011 Census) which has risen significantly from 2,467 in 1901. The town was the location of a historically significant meeting between 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 close to the Silverstone motor circuit, and has some industry related to Formula One racing, particularly the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team which is located in the town, and the Force India F1 team which runs a wind tunnel on the old site of the town's north railway station. On the east outskirts of the town is H. Bronnley & Co., makers 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 that 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 work, be sure that you use trusted experts in Brackley to ensure that you get the best quality service.
