An estate called COLE'S PLACE in Northway, though not recorded as a manor, was one of long standing. The Cole family was widespread in Ashchurch and the neighbouring parishes up to the 18th century; in 1327 Robert Cole and John Cole were among the taxpayers of Northway. (fn. 176) In 1487 John Cole held Cole's Place in Northway as a freehold of the Northway estate of Warwick's and Spencer's land. (fn. 177) John Cole was succeeded in or before 1509 (fn. 178) by his son John (fn. 179) who died in 1524 holding a chief house in Northway and Hall Court manor in Fiddington, (fn. 180) where a Thomas Cole had had a holding in 1396. (fn. 181) The Coles appear to have had a connexion with the Eyres who held 1/6 knight's fee in Oxenton and Pamington in the 14th century: (fn. 182) John Eyre of Oxenton c. 1420 claimed a large estate in Northway and Fiddington, (fn. 183) a Roger Eyre of Northway was recorded in 1531, (fn. 184) and the William Cole of Northway who sold the Fiddington manor in 1572 was alternatively surnamed Eyre. (fn. 185) William was apparently the son of the John Cole who died in 1524, and the father of Rowland Cole, (fn. 186) who succeeded his father as owner of the heath in Northway c. 1580. (fn. 187) Rowland Cole and his son Thomas were both living at Northway in 1623, (fn. 188) but in 1626 Henry Ferrers (created a baronet in 1628) (fn. 189) had the freehold of Cole's Place, which Thomas Ferrers held at his death in 1636. Thomas's son and heir William was then a minor. (fn. 190) The Ferrerses did not have the whole of the Coles' estate, for Thomas Cocks, lord of Northway manor, held the Heath at his death in 1638, (fn. 191) and Thomas Cole — presumably son of Thomas son of Rowland — had a house with mills and land in Ashchurch in the fifties. (fn. 192)
No record has been found of Cole's Place in the next 100 years. In 1765 William Beale Brand, who was presumably connected with the William Beale who had a lease of houses and land in Aston on Carrant in 1637 (fn. 193) and with the Edward Beale who acquired tithes in Northway from William Haynes in 1726, (fn. 194) sold Cole's Place to John Morris.
