These almshouses were endowed through the munificence of William Goddard in his will in 1627. He allowed to provide for 40 persons of which 6 were to be aged fishmongers. The four sides, of which this is the front one, surround an internal quadrangle. Goddard's statue can just be seen in the gable end over the front entrance, which has a sign over the doorway advising that "Vagrants Hawkers & Dogs are not admitted". It is to be hoped that the reading standards of dogs in the Bray area are at a higher level than the national average.

Grade I listed. Listing number 1319439. Almshouses dated 1627. Founded by William Goddard, and under the care of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers.

These almshouses were endowed through the munificence of William Goddard in his will in 1627. He allowed to provide for 40 persons of which 6 were to be aged fishmongers. The four sides, of which this is the front one, surround an internal quadrangle. This is the main entrance with the statue of William Goddard in the gable end. Over the front entrance is the sign advising that "Vagrants Hawkers & Dogs are not admitted". It is to be hoped that the reading standards of dogs in the Bray area are at a higher level than the national average. See Image for a view looking along the road outside.

Almshouses, dating from 1627, and built by the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The statue is of William Goddard, whose will funded these almshouses.

The Village Hall was built in 1923. One website listing halls that can be hired in the Maidenhead area curiously lists this one as being capable of "holding 100 people (80 comfortably)". (NB On a personal note this was not the greatest view possible of the hall but I was constrained by the parked cars in front and the low bright sunshine.)

Bray Bridge carries the B3028 Upper Bray Road over The Cut. The current crossing is a Bailey Bridge, so this must be a replacement for an earlier structure as Bray Bridge is shown as such on the Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile map of 1900. Traffic works one way at a time under a standard give way and priority to oncoming traffic scheme. The bridge was refurbished in 2006 primarily to reduce the noise of vehicles passing over it.

See also Nigel Cox's Image I like the caption he's put with it.

Outside this house is displayed the results of Bray's entry in the Britain in Bloom competition for every year since 1990.

Or The Crown at Bray to give it its proper name. This is another old white-washed half-timbered building in Bray.
