Brackley is an historic market town in the south of Northamptonshire, one of the central regions of England. It has always benefited very well from its convenient location on the trade routes between London, Birmingham, Oxford, and Cambridge, with its primary contribution being in the wool and lace-making industry.
The town was one of only five official sites named by Richard I (Richard The Lionheart) that could host jousting tournaments, in the interest of maintaining order in the country. The site of these tournaments is believed to be and area just south of the castle. The castle was later destroyed in 1173 by Henry III. Brackley also held a significant role as a meeting place between the barons and representatives of the King during 1215, which was, in effect, an early legal establishment of human rights in England.
Attractions and points of interest of the town include the medieval hospitals, the remains of Brackley Castle, the secular buildings and almshouses, and the Parish Church.
