The centre of Wraybury dates back over 800 years. You can still find the ford over the river in the village where horse and cart used to cross by the windmill. We also have more modern facilities like a bowls club, tennis club, football club, a village hall that put on various dramatic productions through the year and a social club where you can get food and drinks as a visitor. There is also a cricket ground and a small park for the children. We even have a Facebook page!
