The history of Bradwell Priory is well known, but for 220 years it was a working farm before the new city of Milton Keynes came along. Who were the farmers who tended the land? What did they grow? What were their lives like and how did the constant changes and innovations affect them during that time?

For the first time, the story of Bradwell Abbey farm has been examined in detail, with the owners and tenants researched and explored through the records left behind of their lives.

This is a great in-depth look at the history of the Chapel and its unique medieval wall paintings.

We hope that this booklet will help to elevate the wall paintings of St Mary's chapel at Bradwell Abbey to their proper place within the landscape of English medieval church decoration. The paintings are unique in portraying a group of contemporary men and women kneeling at the end of their pilgrimage to offer gifts at a shrine. The chapel offers us a wonderful relic of Milton Keynes' medieval past; an important piece of evidence for the uses and function of the chapel; and a revealing glimpse of medieval pilgrimage in general.

This booklet places the paintings in their historical context, with comparisons drawn from other local and national survivals. You will find general introductions to medieval pilgrimage and wall painting, as well as an outline of the conventions of Christian imagery, to better aid an understanding of the iconography, narrative and function of the paintings

All the postcards were exhibited at Gulliver's Eco Park in Milton Keynes as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations, and some of the most imaginative have now been gathered together in a book.

Milton Keynes is the largest urban development project ever undertaken in the UK: a city with an ultimate population of more than 200,000 people. The original Master Plan broke new ground in establishing a flexible framework for development rather than a predetermined set of proposals. In implementing this flexible plan, Milton Keynes Development Corporation refined its planning policies over 25 years. These policies, described in the Planning Manual, make up "best planning practice" for Milton Keynes as it had evolved by the early 1990s

This publication is a useful source of information for urban planners and students in both the UK and abroad.
