Bracknell, A Brief History
The name Bracknell derives from Braccen-Heale meaning "Bracken covered secret place." It was mentioned in a Winkfield Boundary Charter of 942.
Bracknell and the surrounding district lie within the area of the Royal residence of WINDSOR CASTLE. Surrounded by forest, the Saxon Kings had many hunting lodges in the area. In 1350, King Edward the III built a hunting lodge at Easthampstead.. EASTHAMPSTEAD HOUSE. The present house and grounds are now a district of Bracknell town. Henry the VIII loved hunting and spent many long days at the house (to get away from his wives?). The stables for the old house still stand in the center of the local golf course. As you tee off into the early morning mist, the stable tower clock rings out it's hourly chime.....for those that notice, a haunting reminder of what once was!
Bracknell was a small Hamlet within Windsor Forest. Many fine houses where built in the surrounding area by the gentry. Under the post war rebuilding scheme, the quiet little village of Bracknell was designated a NEW TOWN. The old town and surrounding area were gradually flattened and the village became a modern Town. A Town of new housing and business, with many of the new occupants coming from London. Clean affordable housing, away from the Smog!!
