Although possibly related to a family of Colshulls holding land near Hampstead Norris,1CCR, 1409-13, p. 282. Berkshire, Colshull appears to have had neither ancestors nor descendants in Reading itself. However, he certainly lived there from before 1410, and between 1413 and 1419 rented a large house from the corporation. He attended the local elections to the Parliament of 1413 (May).2Reading Pub.
