All Saints' Church, Coleshill

Coleshill is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England (formerly in Berkshire).

The National Trust Buscot and Coleshill Estates,[1] and Buscot Park, are nearby. During World War II, Coleshill House,[2] on the estate, was the headquarters of the secret Auxiliary Units, who were to resist the expected occupation of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany.[3] Coleshill House burned down in 1952.[4]

The record producer Sir George Martin lived in the former rectory, until his death in March 2016. His private funeral was held in the village's Parish Church.[5]
