This 17th century building, with a timber frame, is now a private house, but was a public house called the Oxford Arms. Robert Harley, grandson of Sir Robert and Lady Brilliana, was made Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer in 1711, by Queen Anne, and the pub was named for the Earls.

Scorch marks on timbers in the cellar suggest that the present building replaced an older one, burnt in the 1643 siege. Beer was brewed on the premises; in August 1887, the landlord advertised in the Shrewsbury Journal for "A Brewing Copper with Tap, in Good Condition, not less than 110 gallons".

The pub was a social hub in the village. Newspaper reports during the 19th century describe all sorts of events which took place there — auctions of timber, an inquest into a shooting accident, agricultural society meetings, public balls, and a meeting for the creditors of a bankrupt cattle dealer. Some of these reports can be read here.

The pub was closed in 1903. Its last licensee was called Elizabeth Hancox.
