History

At the time of the Domesday Book it was known as Codrie. In 1086 it was mentioned as having a church, a mill, and a timber-framed court. The mill descended with the manor until the 16th century.

The manor house known as Cotheridge Court which dates back to at least the 16th century stands at the south-western part of the village. The 12th century church of St. Leonard's stands not very far away, and is to this day a visitors centre.
