The population is included in the civil parish of Elm in the Fenland District. Land surrounding Elm including Coldham suffered serious flooding, with loss of human life, stock and crops ruined. As a result Elm and district became "greatly impoverished and likely to be overthrown". Attempts to improve the situation took place and the "Little Bill" of 1607 involving 6,000 acres known as "The Ring of Waldersea and Coldham" involving a system of drainage ditches forming a rough circle led to an improvement in the area. This "ring" is commemorated in the name Ring's End.
