context_page_description: Coleshill is a market town in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire, England, taking its name from the River Cole, on which it stands. It had a population of 6,481 in the 2011 census and is situated 10.0 miles East of Birmingham and 10.4 miles North West of Coventry.
context_section_description: Many former coaching inns remain in Coleshill, mostly along the High Street and Coventry Road.
  One of the most notable buildings in the town is the parish's Church of St Peter and St Paul at the top of the Market Square.  It has a 52-metre (170 ft) high steeple, one of the finest in Warwickshire, dating from the 13th century.  Inside there is a 12th-century font of Norman origin, which is one of the finest examples in the country.  There are also medieval table tombs with effigies of Knights, including John de Clinton. Just outside the south door are the preserved remains of a medieval cross.
  The Market Square is also the location of the town's pillory and whipping post. Historically these were used to punish drunks, and bakers who sold underweight loaves. Today though, they are one of the town's tourist attractions, having been restored and preserved by the Gascoigne family, a local family who have run businesses in Coleshill for over 100 years.
  A bronze sculpture by Peter Walker in the High Street shows three themes of the towns origins: a stagecoach wheel, a visiting circus elephant and the creation of the Typhoo Tea brand by John Sumner.
