The parish formerly had a church dedicated to St. Ethelreda built in 1876. Mrs E.B. Tanqueray, whose husband was Bertram Tanqueray, vicar of Coldham, wrote 'The Royal Quaker', a novel about Jane Stuart publisher in 1904 by Methuen.[2] This church was declared redundant in 2000 and has since been converted into a house.[3] The former war memorial from the church is now located at St Mark's, Friday Bridge.[4] The settlement formerly had a railway station on the Great Eastern Railway, although there are proposals to reinstate a station as part of the Wisbech and March Bramley Line project.[5]
Historyedit
Coldham, formerly known as 'Pear Tree Hill', was formed as a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1874.[6]
