Oaktrow Farm
Hob Uid: 37035
Location : Somerset Somerset West and Taunton Cutcombe
Grid Ref : SS9430040400
Summary : A settlement called Oaktrow was allegedly mentioned in the Domesday Book. However it is thought more likely that the name refers only to a post medieval farm of the 16th century.
More information : [SS 9420 4040] Oaktrow Farm. (1) "Betwixt Cutcombe and Timberscombe there is a depopulated place, called Oaktrow, which having been parcel of the manor of Cutcombe-Mohun, we shall here briefly notice. Its ancient name was Wochetrev, as we find it in Domesday Book." (2) [SS 943 404} Collinson refers to a depopulated place called Oaktrow but there seems no reason to think there was ever more than a farm here. (3) Post medieval pottery and glass from Oaktrow, Cutcombe donated to Taunton Museum by Mr and Mrs C. J. Nurcombe in 1958, Accession No. 58.A.6. (4)
