The hamlet of Chavey Down is part of the Winkfield Parish Council, within the
Bracknell Forest Borough Council.
Chavey Down has its own village flag
which is flown from the flagpole at St Martin’s Church in Church Road on special
occasions such as 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays, and is flown at half-mast for
funerals.
The flagpole was erected to commemorate The Queen’s Golden
Jubilee, with the flag being designed by Neil Grimshaw. The triangles depict the
shape of the area of Chavey Down which was then part of Windsor Forest, the
trees show that it formed common land and was enclosed by George III and the
windmill denotes the fact that an ancient windmill was sited in the area of the
village in the grounds of Chavey Down Farm (or Chavey Down Lodge as it was
previously known). The colours of the flag are purple and gold to show the royal
connection and green to represent Windsor Forest.
