Oxshott history

---

Oxshott means “Ocga’s corner of land”, from the Old English personal name Ocga and sceat (related to modern ‘shoot’) “corner of land” The name was recorded in 1179 as Occesete, a hamlet in the east of Stoke D’Abernon of about 200 people and manor living greatly from the land, rather than trade, from forestry, farming and the keeping of pigs. The Duchess of Kent laid the foundation stone of the national (secular) primary school here in 1820. From 1885 the nature of the village was changed forever with the building of the railway.
