From
"Coats of Arms in Berkshire Churches" by P.S.Spokes  (accessable on line)

 "BRAY : On a roof corbel - North side.

 NORREYS impaling :  Quarterly 1 & 4 (Silver) three covered cups (sable)    CLIDEROW
                                               2 & 3 (Silver) a tower triple towered (sable)    OLDCASTLE "

Odd that he uses "silver" and not the heraldic "argent" but does use "sable" for "black".

Hope this helps,
