About
Bradwell is an ancient village, modern neighbourhood and civil parish in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, situated approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north-west of Central Milton Keynes. The civil parish includes Bradwell Abbey, a former Benedictine priory, which was founded in 1155 and dissolved in about 1540, but the abbey and its immediate environs were always a separate ecclesiastical parish. The village name is an Old English language word and means broad spring. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Bradewelle. There was an YHA youth hostel in the village (near the church and Bradwell Bury): the YHA closed it during the COVID-19 pandemic and terminated its lease in 2021.
