Excavations at Coleshill for HS2 reveal gatehouse may have come under fire during the Civil War

Excavations on behalf of LM for HS2 at Coleshill in Warwickshire continue to provide tantalising evidence of the magnificent Coleshill Manor and its tumultuous history. Thought to have been constructed in the 14th century, the presence of the heavily fortified gatehouse was not expected, having only been recorded as a passing mention in 17th-century records.
