Flower Delivery to Wargrave with Clare Florist

Wargrave, a village in the county of Berkshire, is located in the southeast region of England. It sits on the River Thames and the River Loddon and is in the borough of Wokingham.

Wargrave’s name comes medieval times and is derived from the Saxon language for Weir Grove. It is seen in some historic documents as ‘Weregreave,’ but after the English language changed its use of vowels in the 15th and 16th centuries, the name became written and seen as Wargrave.

Wargrave is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 with a village and manor as part of the feudal system, Wargrave Manor. The building still stands and is a protected historic site and part of larger landscaped park area. Another historic structure, Wargrave Court was built during the early years of the Tudor period, with changes made to the structure throughout history. The property is now owned by the Red Cross, who frequently opens the grounds and gardens to the public for tours and music events.

St. Mary’s Church, an active Church of England parish, is another historic building within Wargrave. The church dates to the 12th century and has significant history from the Women’s Suffrage Movement in the 1910s, when it was mistakenly targeted and set on fire by the Suffragettes in 1914. An original door and tower remain from the fire, but the rest of the structure was rebuilt following the incident. In addition to the Church of England congregation, there is a Roman Catholic Church in Wargrave, Our Lady of Peace, built in the 1960s.

Wargrave Marsh and areas on the River Thames and Loddon provide ample opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Maintained footpaths surrounding these areas are well-used and great spots for enjoying local wildlife, especially bird watching. There are several marinas and boating clubs within Wargrave to enjoy a wide variety of water sports and activities.
