Everything about Simpson Milton Keynes totally explained
Simpson is a
village and
civil parish in
Milton Keynes,
England. It was one of the former villages of
Buckinghamshire that was
included in the New City in 1967. It is located south of the centre, just north of
Fenny Stratford, near
Walton.
The village name is an
Old English language word, and means 'Sigewine's farm'. It was recorded in the
Domesday Book of
1086 as
Siwinestone.
In the mid
19th century the village was described as
"in appearance, one of the most wretched of many miserable villages in the county". This was due to the author's approach to the village being blocked in the
winter time by a
ford 200 yards wide, and three feet deep. This ford was fixed in the
1860s when the road was raised by three and a half feet by the Warren family,
lords of the manor.
Civil parish
The civil parish is a small one, consisting of Simpson itself, Ashland and West Ashland.
Ashland
Ashland was best known for the original Milton Keynes Stadium, a
greyhound racing track. It had been running since the 1960s but was demolished in 2006 to make way for new housing developments. The track was to be relocated to
Elfield Park near the National Bowl but has yet to materialise.
West Ashland
This tiny district is currently a green field site.
