Paley Street is a small village in the civil parishes of White Waltham and Bray, in the Windsor and Maidenhead district, in the ceremonial county of Berkshire. It is situated about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Maidenhead and 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Windsor. By the later medieval period, 'street' was often used to describe straggling villages in areas of late woodland clearance. Paley Street is one such example.[1]
