Etymology
As all the forms except the last two are from pers. names it may be that the name is a manorial one and that final s is the correct ending. If the name is topographical it may be that the marsh (v. mor ) took its name from a lost river Cole (v. Cole supra 10) now called the Rea. Or it may take its name from a pers. name Cola .
