The Bottle Cottages: bottle decoration and terracotta tile
This pattern of bottle-ends appears (four times in all) high in the gable. There are also four tiles, each bearing the date 1809, and a set of initials each ending with 'F' - which I assume record the contributions of the various members of a single family.

The 'Bottle Cottages', Coleshill
The name 'Bottle Cottages' is given in the Buckinghamshire volume of Pevsner's 'The Buildings of England' - I believe they are now known as 'Coleshill Cottages'. The bottles in question - or at least their bottom ends - figure as decoration high in the gables, where the date of building is given as 1809: Image
It looks to me as if the geometrical patterning of brick and flint (diapering) on the end wall was once more extensive - part having been lost when windows were fitted, part lost simply through wear and tear in the course of two centuries.

Coleshill Village Hall, Bucks
Situated in Barracks Hill, HP7 0LN, this village hall was rebuilt in 1982 and is available for hire by the residents of Coleshill and the surrounding area. My own wedding reception was held in this village hall on a wet Saturday in September 1986. To the left of the entrance can be seen a defibrillator cabinet.

All Saints Church, Coleshill
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.
