Remembrance Sunday
Sunday 10th November 2024
After the traditional service at the Oakford War Memorial a lunch was served at Oakford Village Hall, followed by a screening of "The Great Escaper" starring Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. And I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the house by the end!
Thanks to all involved to make such an enjoyable occasion. Including Dawn, Lou, Julia, and Debs in the kitchen, and Jennie in the bar.
All monies raised will be donated to the Royal British Legion.
Thanks to everyone who attended and supported this event.
Croquet at Oakford Manor
Patrick, Nadia, and Sam hosted a fabulous afternoon of croquet at Oakford Manor in support of the St Peter's bells restoration fund. The weather was perfect, and the competition very... competitive!
Patrick and Nadia would like to express their thanks to everyone who made the day happen and to everyone who attended:
"Thank you so much to everyone who came along and enjoyed what was a beautiful day and a lot of fun.
And massive thanks to all who helped, we couldn’t have done it without you:
Debra Morgan, Patsy and John Phillips, Geoffrey and Dawn Williams, David Olive, Paul and Jennie Chappell, Sean Mayer, James Levick, Paul Marcus, Richard Linton, Chloe Wright and Wendy."

Welcome to the Oakford Community website!
The beautiful historic parish of Oakford lies north of Tiverton, in Mid Devon, near to Exmoor National Park.
Close to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and Tiverton Parkway Railway Station, Oakford is conveniently located and easily reached by visitors.
With numerous stunning rural walks through wooded valleys and open countryside, there is no shortage of interest for the keen or casual walker. Most of the walks conveniently start and finish in the middle of Oakford village at the highly-rated ’The Red Lion Hotel’. For those who enjoy walking on high open moorland and along steep valleys, Exmoor is within a short driving distance. Wild deer can be seen grazing both locally around Oakford and on Exmoor, which is also home to the famous Exmoor ponies.
