Domesday Book
The Domesday book entry for Coldred (in Sankaran's translation) reads:

The Latin gives the name as "COLRET".[1]
Name
There are various competing views of the origin of the name. Based on the Domesday Book entry, the Oxford Dictionary of Place Names gives "Clearing where coal is found, or where charcoal is made. OE col + *ryde".[2] This is also quoted by the village website which lists the variant names of "Coeldred", "Coelret" and "Colret".[3] Hastead thought that the name was from its "cold and bleak situation" though he mentioned that it might be named after Ceolred of Mercia[a].[4]
Coldred, at nearly 400 feet (122 m) above sea level, is one of the highest places in East Kent.[citation needed]
The village contains 55 dwellings,[citation needed] and a church dedicated to St Pancras. Village children attend the primary school at Shepherdswell, less than 1 mile (2 km) to the northwest.
Coldred's population, which in 1994 was 110,[citation needed] is included in the civil parish of Sheperdswell with Coldred.
