   • 1980, AA Book of English Villages, Drive Publications Ltd, page 302, about Oare:

     There is a local rhyme which says:
     Culbone, Oare and Stoke Pero
     Are three such places as you seldom hear o'.
     Stoke Pero and Culbone are equally remote hamlets, respectively 5 miles south-east and 2½ miles east of Oare, a village of which few would have heard had not Blackmore [(R. D. Blackmore)] immortalised it.
