Retirement Properties Spotlight in Bletchley

Bletchley is Anglo-Saxon in origin and probably derives its name from ' Blaecca's glade', first appearing in manorial rolls in the 12th century. It lies about three miles southeast of Milton Keynes and just over four miles from Junction 13 of the M1 motorway. It is now of course much smaller than its planned neighbour, Milton Keynes, founded in 1967. Bletchley remained a small village for much of the middle ages eventually developing into a town with the coming of the railways in the 19th century.
