Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Bow Brickhill is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located just a short distance south east of Milton Keynes itself.

The village name is a combination of Brythonic and Anglo Saxon words for 'hill' (Brythonic: breg, Anglo Saxon hyll). The prefix 'Bow' comes from an Anglo Saxon personal name, Bolla.

The village church stands separate from the rest of the village, on the side of a steep hill. This arrangement is common in places that have a strong Celtic history. The church stood in ruins for many years, services having ceased long before the English Civil War took place, so the church was demolished and completely rebuilt in 1757. The church is dedicated to All Saints.

The hymn tune "Bow Brickhill" by Sydney Nicholson was composed in honour of the church here, after it played host to Nicholson and his choristers from Westminster Abbey in 1923.

Bow Brickhill railway station, which serves the village, is located on the Bletchley-Bedford Marston Vale line.
