The small village of Noke [Anglo-Saxon place-name meaning ‘place of the Oak’.] lies 5 mls northeast of the city of Oxford, and is situated on the southern rim of an area known as Otmoor. Today part of the area is protected as a sanctuary for wild birds, and it is as peaceful and secluded now as it was .hundreds of .years ago .
