House & Family History: In 1811 Caverswall was purchased by the Benedictines, who used the House as a nunnery; they sold it in 1853 to Sir Perceval Radcliffe, who sold Caverswall in 1891 to W.E. Bowers. Mr. Bowers sold the House in 1933 to the Sisters of the Holy Ghost, who, in turn, sold it in 1965 to the Daughters of the House of Mary. The daughters sold up in 1977 and the House was converted back into a private home. In February of 2015 Caverswall was listed for sale for £3 million with Sotheby's.
