Coleshill House

Engraving of Coleshill House, 1818

Coleshill House was a country house in England, near the village of Coleshill, in the Vale of White Horse. Historically, the house was in Berkshire but since boundary changes in 1974 its site is in Oxfordshire.

The building may have been designed by Inigo Jones, and built by Sir Roger Pratt around 1660. Nikolaus Pevsner described it as "the best Jonesian mid C17 house in England".[1] It was gutted by fire in 1952 and demolished in 1958. The Coleshill Estate is now owned by the National Trust.
