Oak House, Staffordshire

The Oak House is an early 16th-century timber-framed house in West Bromwich, Staffordshire. It is thought to have taken its name from an oak which stood on the green in front of it and was burnt down around 1800. John Wesley preached at the house on two occasions in the late 18th century when it was in the ownership of William Whyley. It opened as a museum in 1898. It is within the council area of Sandwell.
