From the Wikipedia article
Oakhurst House was a country house in Shining Cliff Woods above the village of Ambergate in Derbyshire. The house was rebuilt in 1848 by Francis Hurt behind his iron forge in Ambergate. It was occupied by the Johnson family of industrialists for many years who were benefactors in the local area, building the parish church of St. Anne at Ambergate.
