From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Eaton Bray is a hamlet that crosses the parishes of Edlesborough in Buckinghamshire, and Dunstable in Bedfordshire, in England. It is located on the border between the two counties, though modernly it is considered to be mainly in Bedfordshire.
The hamlet name 'Eaton' is a common one in England, meaning 'farm by a river'. It was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Eitone. The suffix 'Bray' refers to the family that once owned the manor in this hamlet.
Eaton Bray is often confused with the village of the same name in Leicestershire. See Eaton Bray, Leicestershire.
