A war memorial at Colehill, which is situated just above the River Allen and not far from Wimborne.
From the south and south-west, the minster's twin towers, set against a backcloth of Colehill trees, dominate the skyline and dwarf the rooftops of ordinary buildings.
The Wayside Cross, as the memorial was originally known, stands at Fiveways and names the 36 Colehill men who died in the Great War.
Colehill comprised only a few scattered cottages until Victorian times, when the first of its population growth spurts led to a demand for church services.
The photograph shows Colt Hill Bridge and the rear of The Bridge House.
South-east of Coleshill, Seer Green was a small village that became a separate parish in 1847.
London Road continues as Colt Hill and was truncated by the Odiham bypass, which was opened in 1981.
Moving east we reach Coleshill, a mile south of Amersham.
Animals, local produce and other implements such as weaponry and agricultural tools were sold at the junction of the three main streets, Coleshill Street, Mill Street and High Street, and Sutton
Next time you're near the parish church, have a look at the lych gate on Coleshill Street; you can see a set of plaques all dedicated to the Riland Bedford family.
