Famous Speen, Berkshire landmarks to explore while you travel at Speen, Berkshire
Parish church
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin is late Saxon. It is the burial place of Giovanni Battista Castiglione (1515–98), Queen Elizabeth I’s Italian tutor and servant, who was given nearby Benham Valence house and park in 1572.
The Ladywell or lady well
Tenuous local tradition says its water is able to cure eye diseases and other ills. Some of the village people have seen an old woman with white hair and wearing a blue rain mac wandering around the grave yard.
Speen House
Speen House is the latest incarnation of Speen manor house, which incorporates a minority of building materials from its 17th century precursor. Early historians have dated a few stones among the foundations to the Roman village of Spinae, but it is more likely that these oldest stones were sourced and hewn for the late medieval manor.
Benham Park
Benham Valence Manor was built by Henry Holland and Capability Brown for William, 6th Baron Craven in 1775. It was later the home of his widow, Elizabeth, and her second husband, the Margrave of Anspach.
