	Caversham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caversham is a village in the unitary authority of Reading, England, although, historically, Caversham was part of Oxfordshire.
		In 1911, Caversham became part of Reading to the south of the river and this caused a lot of new building in the 1920s, especially semi-detached domestic homes.
		Caversham is home to BBC Monitoring, the section of the BBC World Service that listens to broadcasts from other countries and watches printed and internet media in dozens of languages.

		Growing complaints at the failure to maintain the bridge grew during the 15th Century but the bridge remained intact until the Civil War when it was partly dismantled to prevent use of this important crossing point before being almost immediately repaired under Kings orders to allow his armies to cross.
		In 1830, the bridge was renewed with half being made of Timber and half of stone (a common practice in previous times when two authorities could not agree on budget and materials!).
		The volume of traffic using the bridge increased with the growth of nearby towns such as Reading and at the beginning of the 20th Century plans were made to replace it with a wider, stronger bridge.

		The stone floor of the chapel is below the level of the church to allow for better viewing of the statue from the body of the church, and also so that passers by may kneel at an angled window outside the church, to see the statue without entering.

		Caversham is now a truly diverse community, with people from many parts of the world making their home here, so the parish of Our Lady and St. Anne looks forward to its second century with confidence, faith and trust.

		From Henley Bridge you need to cross the river into the town, onto the north bank of the river (or in fact the west as it is here).
		The Thames path crosses onto a bridge round the lock here, however when I walked this part of the Thames Path it was diverted away from the river due to works on the path over the lock.
		Beyond the bridge, the path becomes relatively rural in character again, surprising considering how close it is to the centre of Reading.
