History

For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Colehill.

The estate of Kingston Lacy is located within the parish.

It would appear that Colehill was considered part of Wimborne Minster until the 19th century. For this reason there are no sources found which provide data on Colehill itself. Sources for Wimborne Minster are also unavailable in WeRelate except for militia rolls of the late 18th century.
