About Brickhill
Where to stay in Brickhill
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The choice in Brickhill runs between the Foster Hill Road side and the quieter streets up by Saint Andrew's. Neither is a hotel district. Bedford's own centre is where rooms concentrate, and a stay in the parish itself means a residential address, a car or a bus, and a short run into the town for anything beyond a corner shop.
About Brickhill
What are the main landmarks in Brickhill?
Four fixed points stand out. Foster Hill Road Cemetery takes its name from the road it stands on, and it is the one piece of open ground most visitors to Brickhill are likely to notice. Saint Andrew's serves the parish.
St Mark's Church and Community Centre doubles as a meeting hall, while Clapham Park House completes the short list of named buildings here.
What is the history of Brickhill?
Brickhill's record is administrative. It exists in the documents as a civil parish and an electoral ward of Bedford, categories that describe how the place is governed and counted rather than when anyone first built on the ground. The named buildings supply the rest.
Foster Hill Road Cemetery, Clapham Park House and Saint Andrew's are what the record actually preserves, and no founding year attaches to Brickhill itself.
