Caversham Park, Country house in Caversham, England
The Victorian mansion features Italian baroque architecture with prominent colonnades and stands within extensive parkland on the northern outskirts of Reading.
The estate dates back to Norman times when Walter Giffard received the land after the 1066 conquest, with the property listed in the Domesday Book.
The mansion hosted royal gatherings, including a 1613 entertainment for Anne of Denmark with theatrical performances between a Cynic and Traveller character.
The Grade II listed building spans multiple wings with surrounding gardens, currently undergoing redevelopment plans for residential and community purposes.
Thomas Jefferson visited Caversham Park in 1786 while seeking inspiration for his gardens at Monticello, noting its expansive lawn arrangements.
