Flowers Delivered In Caversham

The flower delivery Caversham receives retraces an old pilgrimage route; as early as the 12th century, and perhaps even before, it was the location of a shrine honouring the Virgin Mary. The statue there was clad in silver by some time in the 1400s, and was visited by notable figures including Catherine of Aragon. Unfortunately that hints at its ultimate fate; six years after her 1532 visit, Henry VIII ordered that the shrine be destroyed. Since 1538 onwards, all that has remained is a well, which has now dried up, although the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St Anne now houses a more modern shrine.
