Rickling: Coldhams This view was taken from the very south-western corner of the grid square looking towards Coldhams. The current OS mapping shows two farms here, Moat Farm and Coldhams Farm, but the 1881 OS mapping shows just the farm at what is today's Moat Farm, but called Coldhams. Today's Coldhams Farm did not exist then.
