Some interesting info
about Milton Keynes.
Milton Keynes, sometimes abbreviated MK, is a town in
Buckinghamshire, in the south east of England, about 49
miles (79 km) north-west of London. It is the administrative
centre of the Borough of Milton Keynes. It was formally
designated as a new town on 23 January 1967, with the design
brief to become a 'city' in scale.
At designation, its 89 km2 (34 sq mi) area incorporated the
existing towns of Bletchley, Wolverton and Stony Stratford
along with another fifteen villages and farmland in between.
It took its name from the existing village of Milton Keynes,
a few miles east of the planned centre.
At the 2001 census the population of the Milton Keynes urban
area, including the adjacent Newport Pagnell, was 184,506,
and that of the wider borough, which has been a unitary
authority independent of Buckinghamshire County Council
since 1997, was 207,063 (compared with a population of
around 53,000 for the same area in 1961). The Borough’s
population in 2009 is estimated to be nearly 241,000, with
almost all the increase arising in the urban area. |
Original towns
and villages:
The remainder of the designated area outside the four main
towns (Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Stony Stratford,
Wolverton) was largely rural farmland but included many
picturesque North Buckinghamshire villages and hamlets:
Bradwell village and its Abbey, Broughton, Caldecotte, Fenny
Stratford, Great Linford, Loughton, Milton Keynes Village,
New Bradwell, Shenley Brook End, Shenley Church End,
Simpson, Stantonbury, Tattenhoe, Tongwell, Walton, Water
Eaton, Wavendon, Willen, Great and Little Woolstone,
Woughton on the Green. The historical settlements have been
focal points for the modern development of the new town.
Every grid square has historical antecedents, if only in the
field names. The more obvious ones are listed below and most
have more detailed articles.
Bletchley was first recorded in the 12th century as
Blechelai. Its station was a major Victorian junction (the
London and North Western Railway with the Oxford-Cambridge
Varsity Line), leading to the substantial urban growth in
the town in that period. It expanded to absorb the villages
of Water Eaton and Fenny Stratford.
Bletchley Park was home to the Government Code and Cypher
School during the Second World War. The famous Enigma code
was cracked here, and the building housed what was arguably
the world's first programmable computer, Colossus. The house
is now a museum of war memorabilia, cryptography and
computing.
The Benedictine Priory of Bradwell Abbey at Bradwell was of
major economic importance in this area of north
Buckinghamshire before the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The routes of the medieval trackways (many of which are now
Redways or bridleways) converge on the site from some
distance. Nowadays there is only a small medieval chapel and
a manor house occupying the site.
New Bradwell, to the north of the medieval Bradwell (Abbey)
and just across the canal and the railway to the east of
Wolverton, was built specifically for railway workers. It
has a working windmill, although technically this lies just
a few yards outside of the parish boundary. The level bed of
the old Wolverton to Newport Pagnell Line ends here and has
been converted to a Redway, making it a favourite route for
cycling.
Great Linford appears in the Domesday Book as Linforde, and
features a church dedicated to Saint Andrew, dating from
1215. Today, the outer buildings of the 17th century manor
house form an Arts Centre, and Linford Manor is a
prestigious recording studio.
Milton Keynes Village is the original village to which the
New Town owes its name. The original village is still
evident, with a pleasant thatched pub, village hall, church
and traditional housing. The area around the village has
reverted to its original name of Middleton, as shown on old
maps of the 1700s. The oldest[36] surviving domestic
building in the area, a 14th century manor house, is here.
There has been a market in Stony Stratford since 1194 (by
charter of King Richard I). The Rose and Crown Inn at
Stratford is reputedly the last place the Princes in the
Tower were seen alive.
The manor house of Walton village, Walton Hall, is the
headquarters of the Open University and the tiny parish
church (deconsecrated) is in its grounds.
The tiny Parish Church (1680) at Willen contains the only
unaltered building by the architect and physicist Robert
Hooke. Nearby, there is a Buddhist Temple and a Peace
Pagoda. The district borders the River Ouzel: there is a
large balancing lake here, to capture flash floods before
they cause problems downstream on the River Great Ouse. The
north basin is a wildlife sanctuary and a favourite of
migrating aquatic birds. The south basin is for leisure use,
favoured by wind surfers and dinghy sailors. The circuit of
the lakes is a favoured "fun run".
The original Wolverton was a medieval settlement just north
and west of today's town. The Ridge and Furrow pattern of
agriculture can still be seen in the nearby fields and the
Saxon (rebuilt in 1819) Church of the Holy Trinity still
stands next to the Norman Motte and Bailey site. Modern
Wolverton was a 19th century New Town built to house the
workers at the Wolverton railway works (which built engines
and carriages for the London and North Western Railway).
