Bray Court Lodge
« on: Monday 27 February 17 13:10 GMT (UK) »
I have just found a family connection with Bray Court Lodge,Maidenhead inthe 1901 census. Ive lived in Windsor  for 40 years and am thrilled to have found a local connection. I am wondering where this building might have been or still is.THere are many place with the name Bray .Could it be New Lodge which is opposite Braywood House where the old churchb was.Any ideas
Thank you

It would have been the lodge or gatehouse associated with the Bray Court mansion.  Bray Court was used by the RAF as a unit HQ during WW2.

"After the war, the whole site was demolished and replaced by housing. The name Bray Court is retained by one of the residential streets."
