Local area information

Brockhall is a small settlement recorded in the Domesday Book as Brocole, meaning Badgers Hill. Like many estate villages, it is based around its hall which was once used by the American Office of Strategic Studies (an early predecessor of the cia) and is now divided into individual residences. Located just off the A5 Watling Street roman road, which provides easy access to Towcester, Milton Keynes, Hinckley and Tamworth to name just a few towns along its route, M1 J16 is also located only 3.5 miles away making this hamlet ideal for commuters. Brockhall utilises the facilities of nearby village Flore, just 1.5 miles south, which include public houses, general stores, day nursery, primary school, a garage and plant nursery which also incorporates a children's petting farm, produce shop and cafe on a seasonal basis. Additional facilities can be accessed either in Northampton or Daventry, 8 miles and 6 miles away respectively, with the former also having a mainline train service to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.
