A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Coldrey from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "COLDREY, an extra-parochial tract in Alton [registration] district, Hants; 5½ miles NE of Alton. Acres: 200. Population: 15. House: 1."
Coldrey was a civil parish from 1858 until 1932 when it was abolished and absorbed into the neighbouring parish of Bentley.

Parishes in the Alton Hundred of Hampshire and the Farnham Hundred of Surrey have been omitted from the Victoria County Histories. This may be because they were set up later than the other hundreds.
