The hall itself is in the neighbouring parish of Stanningfield but the main entrance gatehouse, the avenue and the present church are in Lawshall.

The new house was constructed with its "built-in" secret attic chapel, its hiding hole and escape down a chimney with an outer wall.

Efforts were made by the Rookwoods to persuade her to visit them at the hall but these were rewarded by one of the family being thrown in prison in Bury St Edmunds where he later died.

John Gage nearly brought the Coldham mission to an end by arranging for a good many people to travel to his new church in Bury St Edmunds.

[2] Coldham Cottage itself dates from the late seventeenth/early eighteenth century and has a timber-frame, whitewashed and rendered, with pantile roof and brick central ridge and right end projecting stacks.

A separate church was created utilising one unit of the existing house (kitchen and bedroom with removal of floor) and building on an extension.

[3] Following renovation work to the cottage, there is now a resident priest as well as facility to provide holiday accommodation for clergy wanting to take time off from their own parishes.

It moved in 1823 to Barfields, a farm building on the estate which had been adapted for use as a chapel along with a school under the care of Miss Mayston.

[2] A memorial stone is located on Bury Road to Flight Sergeant Johannes Bartholomeus Jat Van Mesdag, aged 21, who lost his life during the night of 6 March 1945 while flying his Mustang MK.III.

[5] The Green Light Trust is an environmental and educational charity whose mission is to bring communities and landscapes to life through 'hands-on' learning and the growing of woodlands.

[6] The Foundry is the Green Light Trust's headquarters and training centre which is set in 2.5 acres of meadowland at Bury Road.

Abandoned for 50 years, Green Light Trust decided to breathe new life into it and to make The Foundry their headquarters as well as a shining example of sustainable building in East Anglia.

A diversification scheme has recently been undertaken at Newhall Farm, within the parish of Bradfield Combust with Stanningfield, which provides four detached barn style business units fronting Bury Road.
