Oxshott is a village in Surrey, England with a growing population of around 1,500. It is situated in fields and woodlands between Esher and Leatherhead on the A244, five minutes by car to both the A3 (Portsmouth Road) and the M25 Surrey Orbital motorway. It is situated in Surrey's stockbroker belt and the area consequently has some of the highest property prices in the UK - it was voted as the most expensive suburb to live in, by the Daily Telegraph on 26 December, 2007.
Oxshott means "Ocga's corner of land", from the Old English personal name Ocga and sceat (related to modern 'shoot') "corner of land". The first element does not, contrary to popular belief, have anything to do with oxen. The name was recorded in 1179 as Occesete. At this time Oxshott was a hamlet of about 200 people earning their living from forestry, farming and the keeping of pigs.
For 600 years Oxshott was in an isolated position, which was surrounded by heath and scrubland and connected to nearby villages only by footpaths.
In 1885 the nature of the village was changed forever with the building of the railway.
The railway allowed both day trippers and wealthy residents quickly to appreciate the area's scenery.
The following 30 years saw Oxshott expand to meet their demands and in doing so it acquired all the characteristics of a stereotypical English village.
The Crown Commissioners limited early housing development to mansions suitable for occupation by wealthy families. Examples of these include Danes Hill, Broom Hall and Bevendean. Subsequently the village has expanded to include all types of housing, but it has retained a degree of prosperity.
The religious needs of the growing population were met by the consecration of St. Andrew's Church in 1912. Oxshott became a parish in its own right in 1913. The high street expanded from an initial nucleus of three shops: a draper's, a tobacconist and a set of tea-rooms. Industry arrived in Oxshott when John Early Cook set up his brickworks in 1866. Production continued until 1958, with the famous and distinctive chimney being demolished in 1967.
Today, Oxshott is a thriving residential and commercial community, thanks to its relative proximity to Surrey coupled with its semi-rural location.
