About the memorial: The war memorial in the east Berkshire village of Bray, on the River Thames, is a Portland stone cross, whose arms widen at the end like a simplified Canterbury cross, on a slim pillar standing on a triple plinth and a two-stepped base. There is moulding at the top and the base of the pillar. The plinth consists of a shallow octagonal section on two square blocks of stone, both with sills, the lower wider and longer than the upper. Names are inscribed on all four faces of the plinth. On the top step of two sides of the memorial are planters, and an angled stone commemorating the fallen of World War II has been added on a third side of the steps. The structure stands on a brick cobbled area on the junction of the High Street, Church Lane and Ferry Road behind a low post and chain fence.
