Victorian Buildings, Wraysbury High Street
An eye catching set of buildings from the 19th century in Wraysbury village.
The Baptist Church dates from 1862, while the gabled terrace in the foreground is later. It has a stone above the central window which has the unusual inscription "189 2/8" I can only guess it took six years to build and somebody wanted that recorded.

Wraysbury: The Baptist Church
There are several interesting buildings in Wraysbury but very few are nationally listed. This is one of the interesting and surprisingly unlisted ones, a nicely proportioned Victorian church with a fine separate tower, and, on close inspection, both with a lot of intricate and pleasing detail.
Up to and including the map of 1920 the Ordnance Survey spelt Wraysbury as Wyrardisbury, both as the name of the village and as the name of the civil parish. For a while in the 1930s the OS offered both spellings until eventually the modern day one only was accepted.

Wraysbury: Splash Windmill
An initial observation suggests this is an old smock windmill but in truth it is very modern, construction having started in 1995 and being completed in 1997. It was the work of Glynn Larcombe, who designed and built it in his own rear garden, partly from his love and admiration of large agricultural buildings, and but also in protest against the loss of local heritage within Wraysbury. It was inspired by Image It is currently in use as self-catering rented accommodation.
The name of the windmill possibly comes from its very close proximity to Image
