History

A previous house stood where Oakhurst Hall is now, and it was demolished. Oakhurst Hall was built in about 1854 by the Venables family.
The family of Venables, originally of Cheshire, became connected with Oswestry in the 18th century; and one branch resided at Woodhill. Oakhurst Hall was owned by the Venables family until 1946 when it was sold to Shropshire County Council.

In 1948 the hall became the boarding house for the Oswestry Girl’s High School, for the children of military personnel living abroad. The house was previously converted and renovated in 1986 to create a private residence and separate commercial premises.
