Cold Brayfield
Cold Brayfield is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.〔(Parishes in Milton Keynes ) - Milton Keynes Council.〕 It is about three miles east of Olney, on the Bedfordshire border. Nearby places are Lavendon and Turvey (over the bridge on the Bedfordshire side of the River Great Ouse).
Cold Brayfield is probably the place named as 'Bragenfelda' in a charter of 967.〔''Charters of Abingdon Abbey'', ed. S.E. Kelly, 2 parts, Anglo-Saxon Charters VIII (British Academy: Oxford, 2001), part 2, no. 106, pp. 419-21〕 The elements of the name, 'brain' and 'field' are interpreted to mean 'open country on the crown of a hill'.〔E. Ekwall, ''The Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names'', 4th edition (Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1960), p. 59; V. Watts, ed., ''The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names'' (Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, 2004), p. 82〕 The village name is later recorded in twelfth- and thirteenth-century charters as 'Brauefeld', 'Brawefeld' or 'Brauufeld',〔''Records of Harrold Priory'', ed. G. H. Fowler (Bedfordshire Historical Record Society: Aspley Guise, 1935), pp. 46-53〕 and becomes 'Cold Brayfield' towards the end of the sixteenth century.〔''Victoria History of the County of Buckingham'', IV (Victoria History of the Counties of England: London, 1927), pp. 323-327. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=62593 Date accessed: 3 July 2009〕 The prefix 'Cold' is believed to refer to the village's bleak location on the banks of the River Great Ouse, however there is no known record for this.
