Bow Brickhill is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located just a short distance south east of Milton Keynes itself.

The church at Bow Brickhill, hidden in the trees from every approach until you enter the churchyard.The village name is a combination of Brythonic and Anglo Saxon words for 'hill' (Brythonic: breg, Anglo Saxon hyll). The prefix 'Bow' comes from an Anglo Saxon personal name, Bolla.

The village church stands separate from the rest of the village, on the side of a steep hill. This arrangement is common in places that have a strong Celtic history. The church stood in ruins for many years, services having ceased long before the English Civil War took place, so the church was demolished and completely rebuilt in 1757. The church is dedicated to All Saints.

The hymn tune "Bow Brickhill" by Sydney Nicholson was composed in honour of the church here, after it played host to Nicholson and his choristers from Westminster Abbey in 1923.

Bow Brickhill railway station, which serves the village, is located on the Bletchley-Bedford Marston Vale line.

The village e-group (hosted by Yahoo! Groups) provides an electronic platform for community discussions.

It is used for a variety of purposes: Neighbourhood watch messages, announcing village events, disposing of unwanted household items, discussing village matters...the possibilities are endless. If you would like to join email Sue.

I would advise any visitor to this web site who has a potential interest in land (housing) developments in Bow Brickhill to contact Milton Keynes Council (Diane Webber 01908 252668) or Bruce Stewart (01908 252480) for fair, professional and unbiased advise on what may and what will not be included in the Milton Keynes Local Plan. Land not included will not be avaialble for development.

Environmental Health & Licensing
Reports from residents of Church Road of sewerage odours had apparently been tackled by Anglian Water …but it could be that they have simply shifted the problem further down the hill for, at time of writing this report, residents contacting me on Station Road complaining of the same unpleasant problem! The sewerage and drainage systems in the village have been the cause of complaints on a continuing basis for many years with Anglian Water variously reporting, ‘too small piping', ‘silt and sand blocking the drains', ‘collapsed main pipes' and ‘insufficient capacity'. I will keep on to them and to Environmental Health at MK Council.

The new Licensing Act may encourage the licensed premises in the village to apply for longer trading hours under the new regime, which they are quite at liberty to do. Such a licence can only be objected two on the following four categories, namely;
1 Crime and disorder , 2 Public nuisance ,3 Public safety, 4 Protection of children. If these objections were not sustainable then MK Council would have no grounds to refuse such an application. This new licensing regime will start in February 2005.

Highways and Traffic

Apart from the ongoing road safety work undertaken this year in the centre of the village and the general ongoing concerns about speeding traffic and heavy lorries passing through the village, the only highway issue I am currently aware of is the return of the flooding on the bad bend on the Woburn Sands road. The Council have been using specialist high pressure jetting equipment coming and I hope that may have cured the problem.
