Dedication:
TO THE MEN OF
BRACKLEY
WHO GAVE THEIR
LIVES FOR KING
AND COUNTRY
IN THE GREAT WAR.
This memorial was re located in 2006 and sited in the lower high Street.
The CPRE citation read "A collaborative project by Brackley Vision, Atkins and the Market Towns
Partnership has led to a significant urban improvement to one of the county's traditional market towns.
The re-siting of parking, relocation of the war memorial and resurfacing has reinforced the beautiful 1706 town hall as a focal point, liberating both it and the war memorial from a car park. Once again there is a traditional marketplace for the thriving farmers' and street markets in the historic heart of the town." Bob Carter, the Project Manger said, "it is very pleasing to receive this award. When the project was first suggested there was a lot of concerns raised about it, but since completion the majority of
people are now delighted with the results" with a re- dedication by the Royal British legion.
