Everything about Silverstone totally explained
This article refers to the village. For the circuit, see Silverstone Circuit.
Silverstone is a medium sized village in
Northamptonshire,
England. It lies roughly equidistant from
Northampton,
Milton Keynes and
Banbury, and it has a population of about 2,000.
About half a mile to the south of the village is the
Silverstone Circuit, traditionally the home of the
British Grand Prix. This
Formula 1 race attracts over 100,000 visitors each year.
In the Middle Ages the village trade was primarily in timber from the surrounding
Whittlewood forest, through the use of coppicing. Linnell Brothers still operate a woodyard to this day. Fish ponds on the north side of the village fed the villagers.
The village is listed in the
Domesday Book.
