In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coley like this:
COLEYS, the old seat of the Vachells, in Berks; 1 mile SW of Reading. Edward VI. met the mayor and aldermen of Reading at Coley-Cross, on his visit to the city; and Charles I. resided several days at Coley House, during the civil war.
Coley is now part of READING Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how READING has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Coley itself, go to Statistics.
