Bray’s famous people span 307 years: 3 births from 1606 to 1913

Roy Boulting (British director, writer and producer) is the best known by our measure: Wikipedia has an article about them in 10 languages. Next come John Boulting and William Hathorne.

3 people born in Bray have an English Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace. Wikidata places 5 people here; the rest aren’t listed because their article names somewhere else, or no town.

Among its famous people, performers: 2 of the 3. That is 67% of the town’s list, against 9% across UK towns.

William Hathorne, born in 1606. The youngest on the list was born in 1913.

People Wikidata records as born in a place inside Bray’s built-up area (the ONS 2022 boundary), a hospital or district within it included, whose English Wikipedia article agrees. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a bigger area (“London”), another town, or missing, or their article may give no birthplace. We only list people both sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
