Oakley Green is a village in the eastern part of the civil parishofBray in the English county of Berkshire. It was used in the film The Devil-Ship Pirates (1964) as the local village.

Etymology[edit]

Its toponym is derived from "Oak Clearing," and a green used as common pasture by farmers of the parish.

History[edit]

The area is the purported site of the battle of Acleah, in 851, between King Æthelwulf of Wessex and the Danes, resulting in a victory for Æthelwulf.[1] It grew as a small village linking the route between Windsor and Reading, serving as a stop for packhorse traders.
