Cold Brayfield is probably the place named as 'Bragenfelda' in a charter of 967.[2] The elements of the name, 'brain' and 'field' are interpreted to mean 'open country on the crown of a hill'.[3] The village name is later recorded in twelfth- and thirteenth-century charters as 'Brauefeld', 'Brawefeld' or 'Brauufeld',[4] and becomes 'Cold Brayfield' towards the end of the sixteenth century.[5] The basis for the prefix 'Cold' is not recorded.
The Church of England parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.[5]
