Emberton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority area of the City of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire, England.

In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was called Ambretone;[4] in manorial records of 1227 it was Emberdestone, and by the fourteenth century it was Embirtone.

This poem is engraved on a panel below the clock: Time's on the wing, how swift he speeds his way, Hastening to sink in one continuous day, Pause passing traveller, "what thy destiny?"

Though relatively unknown in his native Britain, Wheldon became a star in the United States after winning both the IndyCar championship and the Indy 500 in 2005 and 2011.

He was killed in a high-speed crash involving 15 cars in the 2011 IndyCar season finale held in Las Vegas.
