More about this scene

Moving east we reach Coleshill, a mile south of Amersham. This village was an enclave of Hertfordshire, being transferred to Buckinghamshire in 1832, and there are many good 16th and 17th century timber-framed farmhouses and cottages within the parish. It had a chapel of ease that was demolished around 1800.

Its churchyard acquired a Millennium lych gate in 2000.
