Brief Village History by village Archivists   (Site not responding.

Although Runnymede was named in the document itself, for centuries scholars have argued that King John and his entourage were on the opposite bank of the River Thames in Wraysbury, on an Island known as Magna Carta Island, separated from the angry Barons and their followers on Runnymede. This claim was emphasised by the Lord of the Manor of Wraysbury, when in 1834 he built a cottage on the island which included a room dedicated to the event called the Charter Room. www.wraysbury.com /history/history1.html   (1040 words)

Downstream Flooding - Residents remain angry - www.ezboard.com Wraysbury (Staines) was one of the many Thames-side villages that suffered the worse floods for more than fifty years in January 2003. Naturally, Wraysbury residents (who pay their Council Taxes to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead) consider they have been treated very differently to those Borough residents who now have the flood protection afforded by the flood alleviation scheme. The predictable absence of the Environment Agency from the meeting in Wraysbury last week suggests that they are still busily concocting their justification for neglecting dredging and then moving the floodwater elsewhere. p088.ezboard.com /ftheroyalwindsorforumfrm9.showMessage?topicID=4.topic   (6776 words)

Wraysbury Open 2001 As the event coincided with the Flanders Regatta many top Optimist sailors were absent, but there were enough squad members present to add some spice and interest to the Gold Fleet of 15. A gusty WSW Force 3 and sun greeted the fleet with Wraysbury’s notoriously shifty winds presenting a good test for all. The race officer used essentially the same course for all three races, utilising the full length of the lake for the main beat with a short reach in the middle and a long run back. www.optimistsailing.org.uk /opens/wraysbury-open-2001.htm   (405 words)

UK Diving Places to Dive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Its as much fun diving at Wraysbury as it is sitting down having a cup of tea and chat with the staff and divers. Exits at Wraysbury used to be tricky, but the new concrete slopes are brilliant, especially when doing rescue diver courses. Due to the location of the place, ie on a clay soil, any silt tends to be very light and takes ages to settle, whereas stoney was a slate quarry (I think) which is heavier and settles quicker. www.ukdiving.co.uk /places/inland/place.php?p_id=46   (710 words)
