Caversham Bridge is a bridge across the River Thames between Caversham and the town centre of Reading . The bridge is situated on the reach above Caversham Lock , carrying the A4155 road across the river and also providing pedestrian access to the adjacent mid-river Pipers Island .
The first bridge on the site was built sometime between 1163, when a famous trial by combat was fought on nearby De Montfort Island , and 1231, when Henry III wrote to the Sheriff of Oxfordshire, commanding him:
William Marshal was the first Earl of Pembroke , the principal landowner in the Caversham area, and regent during the early years of Henry's reign. He had died at his home at Caversham Park in 1218. [2]
