VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Social Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Social History Social Character and Communal Life Caversham’s population was long split between the main settlements of Caversham and Lower Caversham in the south (which had ready access to the trading and social opportunities offered by neighbouring Reading), and the small scattered hamlets and farmsteads of the parish’s central and northern parts. Manor houses in the south-east (latterly in Caversham Park) were intermittently occupied by high-status resident lords from the Middle Ages onwards, but landownership became increasingly divided, and by the 18th century the riverside settlements were relatively ‘open’, with strong outside links and (by the 19th century) marked religious Nonconformity. Major residential development in the late 19th and early 20th century turned Caversham, Lower Caversham and (later) Emmer Green into suburbs of Reading both socially and administratively, while the northern upland areas remained rural. The Middle Ages During the Middle Ages Caversham manor was held by a succession of leading aristocrats of mainly comital rank and above, including the earls of Pembroke and Warwick. William Marshal (1146/7--1219), regent of England from 1216, chose Caversham as one of his main residences, and his generous endowment of the shrine and chapel there may have been part of a larger investment in the manor house, which stood close to the Thames.1 William kept a huntsman at Caversham,2 and either maintained or created the deer park, which was stocked with ten does in 1223.3 Free warren (the right to small game) was enjoyed as ‘of old’.4 Later lords maintained the house, which saw sporadic royal visits from Henry III,5 Edward I,6 and Edward II.7 Caversham was one of Margaret de Lacy’s regular residences 1 Above, landownership; for chapel, below, relig.

St Agnes with St Paul and St Barnabas Parish Profile
St Agnes with St Paul and St Barnabas Parish Profile We really appreciate your interest in this exciting opportunity to work with us in our Parish and in partnership with Greyfriars, our resource church: Thank you! There is so much that is good to build on here in our communities and so much potential for you to make a difference here for the future. Our Mission is for the transformation of individuals, the community and beyond, through the experience of the love, presence and power of God, whilst our Vision for the parish is simply that “Every household sees and hears the Good News of Jesus” and we would love you to consider being a part of this with us. Please contact us if you would like to visit or discuss further. We look forward to receiving your application. Foreword from Archdeacon Our world is changing in new and unprecedented ways, we must think afresh about inequality, our communities, and what it means to be human. We need to be the best Church we can be in such a time as this: a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God’s world. We know that: • in our larger conurbations, less than 1 person in 100 attends a Church of England Sunday service; and • areas of our towns and cities are experiencing high levels of poverty and inequality, and have been under-resourced. As part of our Common Vision, the Diocese of Oxford is making an ambitious £5 million investment in growing 750 new congregations. This forms part of our response to rapid social and environmental changes across this diocese.
