The village of Brill dates back to anglo saxon times. At the time of King Edward the Confessor it was a town known as Bruhella and the King had a grand palace here, that remained in place through to the time of King Charles I, who turned the building into a garrison. This action led to its eventual destruction by local boy John Hampden in 1643 in the English Civil War. John Hamden features on the local wheelie bins... such are the spoils of war! Brill once hosted a northwestern terminus of the London Underground system, which was closed down in 1935. It is also often said that J. R. R. Tolkien based the village of Bree in The Lord of the Rings on Brill; he used other nearby places in Oxfordshire as part of the Shire, sometimes using the same names, such as Buckland.
The devil makes work for idle hands. Bored at lunchtime because my regular playmate is once more away on his holidays (he's always on holiday!), I decided to go out and set some more of this cache and dash series. The area is ever so muggly so please be discreet. You are looking for a small locking tupperware box - please treat the cache hide with respect and try to rehide it well, thanks.
