High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Caversham Park is a Victorian stately home with parkland in the suburb of Caversham, on the outskirts of Reading, England. Historically it was in Oxfordshire, but since 1911 it has been in Berkshire. Originally, Caversham Manor was a fortified manor house or castle, probably nearer the Thames than the present house. It was the home of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke and Protector of the Realm. Later it was occupied by the Earls of Warwick. In 1542, it was bought by Sir Francis Knollys, the treasurer of Queen Elizabeth I. However, he did not move here till over forty years later, when he completely rebuilt the house slightly to the north. He also had homes in Reading to the south and at Greys Court, near Rotherfield Greys to the north. Sir Francis' son, William Knollys, the Earl of Banbury, entertained Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Anne of Denmark here.
