All Saints Church was opened in 1861, giving the village its own church to avoid the journey to Amersham. It has a simple nave and chancel in the Early English style, but solidly built by diocesan architect George Edmund Street. The materials are flint, bricks made locally, and Bath stone for dressings, which came by boat to Windsor, before being transported up to Coleshill. Brick courses in the flintwork add stability as well as being a decorative feature. The first baptism took place in the church a month after it opened, but it was not licensed for weddings for another 50 years. The only change to the structure has been the addition of a new vestry in 1933.
