| The village name is a compound of Brythonic and Anglo Saxon origins, which is a common occurrence in this part of the country. The Brythonic breg means `hill`, and the Anglo Saxon hyll also means `hill`. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Brichelle. The affix `Great` was added in the 12th century to differentiate from nearby Bow Brickhill and Little Brickhill. |
