  Little Brickhill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Brickhill is a village in the Borough of Milton Keynes and ceremonial Buckinghamshire, England.
The village name 'Brickhill' is a compound of Brythonic and Old English words that have the same meaning: a common occurrence in this part of the country.
The village has, for a long time, gathered most of its income from the Roman road Watling Street that passes through the parish from north-west to south-east, and anciently from a market that was established in the village in 1228.

 Great Brickhill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The affix 'Great' was added in the 12th century to differentiate from nearby Bow Brickhill and Little Brickhill, though since that time Little Brickhill has far outgrown the other two.

That Great Brickhill survives today as a village is due in no small part to the objections of its residents to the ever-increasing development of Milton Keynes.
