The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Coll's hill', though it has only been known by this name since the early 16th century. Previously it was known as 'Stoke'. The change of name occurred at about the same time as the village was annexed into the county of Buckinghamshire; previously it was a peculiar of Hertfordshire.
Coleshill was a small area of Hertfordshire, completely surrounded by Buckinghamshire, to the south west of Amersham.
COLESHILL, a chapelry partly in the parish of Amersham, hundred of Dacorum, county of Hertford, and partly in the parish of Beaconsfield, hundred of Burnham, county of Buckingham, 1¾ mile (S. by W.) from Amersham, containing 492 inhabitants.
Because Coleshill does not have an "ancient" parish church its inhabitants would have used adjacent parish churches or, in the case of non-conformists, local chapels or meetings.
