Follow the history trail

Posted on May 30, 2006

Anyone fascinated by the history of Eaton Bray should make a date to visit the village church this Sunday afternoon.

A talk on the history of the manor of Eaton Bray, covering the period from 1066 until the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the 16th century, is being given as part of the church trail scheme organised by St Mary's.

The talk will include information about Lord of the Manor, Reginald Bray, who was a national figure with connections to St George's Chapel, Windsor.

Afterwards there will be tours of the church to learn more about the building's provenance, at 2.30pm and 4pm.
