Full Description
{1} The Halse Road (known in the C15th & C16th as The Cross Lane), is one of several earlier roads radiating from the original late Saxon/early medieval village of Brackley. There is a slight possibility that the Halse Road is in origin a Roman road as it appears to be a primary element within the plan form of the original village and runs through the area of substantial Roman occupation.
This lane appears to be the primary road in Brackley village, leading east to Buckingham and west to the manorial estate centre at Halse. If so, the settlement expanded considerably in the medieval period, to the head of Old Town Lane.
