Lullebrook Manor is a fine mid-18th century country house that was once rented by Colonel Francis Ricardo, the first car owner in Cookham, having a bright yellow Rolls Royce with a large horn on the side that went 'poop, poop' and supposedly the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's Toad in the 1908 children's book The Wind in the Willows.
