Oake

Oake is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Taunton.

From Saxon times it formed part of the manor of Taunton Deane which belonged to the Bishop of Winchester.

[4] It is also part of the Tiverton and Minehead county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Between Oake and Bradford-on-Tone is Lang's Farm, a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest which provides an example of unimproved, herb-rich neutral grassland of a type now rare in Britain.

[5] The Church of the Holy Cross in Hillfarrance dates from the 14th century, with the tower being added in 1540,[6] and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.
