The History of Oatlands

As a group, our main focus is on the village, and this website concentrates on that topic - but it would be a very different village without the Palace and the Estate having gone before it and it is important, we believe, to have some grasp of the earlier years to fully understand how and why the village developed and grew in the way it did.

There are also other episodes within the history that, unless they are understood, make the story of Oatlands a series of unconnected chapters rather than a flowing tale and ee shall be covering the full story' of Oatlands on this site as time permits but, for now, we hope that you find something of interest from what is currently available...
