Colonel Ricardo was said to have been Kenneth Grahame's inspiration for Toad of Toad Hall in Wind in the Willows, as he drove round the village in a yellow Rolls-Royce and would offer lifts to any residents he saw.
This fine mid-18th century country house was once rented by Colonel Francis Ricardo, the first car owner in Cookham, who was High Sheriff of Berkshire in the early 1900s and supposedly the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's Toad, in the Wind in the Willows.
