Brockhall is a civil parish and village in West Northamptonshire in England. Brockhall, like many estate villages, is a small settlement that has developed around its eponymous hall. The village - Brocole in Old English - was recorded in the Domesday Book.[1] Brocole means "Badger hole".[2] The name is derived from "broc" ("badger" in Old English[3]) and "hol" ("hollow" in Old English[4]). The population is included in the civil parish of Norton.
The parish church, St Peter & St Paul, is part of the Benefice of Heyford with Stowe IX Churches and Flore with Brockhall.[5]
