This blue commemorative plaque records: Oak House. Built by Simon Bunter, a local solicitor, in 1758, it was a private dwelling until about the middle of the nineteenth century, when it became a preparatory school for boys. It was later purchased by the owners of Dawkin's Stores and used as a hostel for resident staff. For some years it was the offices of the urban and rural District Councils.
