Great Brickhill’s military history connects the people who served with wartime life in the village and the military sites of the surrounding area. Home Guard duties, remembrance, aircrew training and wireless communications each form a different part of that story.
Great Brickhill Heritage brings together the Home Guard and local defence, the village war memorial and the Ex-Servicemen book. Connected Regional Heritage introduces RAF Wing, Whaddon Hall, Bletchley Park and RAF Stoke Hammond. Wider Area Context offers routes into the English Civil Wars, Winston Churchill’s Toyshop and further reading on secret communications.
