Sadly Coleshill House burnt down in the 1950's and the site and grounds are now managed by the National Trust. Very little remains on the estate connected with WW2. The National Trust, Coleshillhouse.com and local residents respectfully ask you not to visit the village or site in search of anything.
You can see a picture tour of the site on our Multimedia page. Check out the virtual tour of Coleshill here

The building in the background is an estate house now occupied by a tenant of the National Trust who own the whole estate. In the foreground within the box hedge is the site of the great country house of Coleshill Park, which tragically burned almost to the ground in September 1952 and had to be demolished. It shows up well on Google Earth.
