Summary
Print, engraving Coleshill House, Oxfordshire. Line drawing of Coleshill House with gates in foreground. In black frame. Coleshill House was a country house, near the village of Coleshill, in the Vale of the White Horse. Historically, the house was located in Berkshire but since boundary changes in 1974 is located in Oxfordshire. The building may have been designed by Inigo Jones and built by Sir Roger Pratt around 1660. Nikolaus Pevesner described it as "the best Jonesian mid C17 house in England". It was gutted by fire in 1952 and demolished in 1958. The Coleshill Estate is now owned by the National Trust.
