Liaise Loddon is a part of Liaise Loddon Community Guide Church Oakley, Malshanger (which lies just north of Oakley) and Deane are listed in the Doomsday Book. The name ‘Oakley’ derives from the Old English ‘Achleach’ or Oak Wood. The oak woods on Manydown (in the neighbouring village of Wootton St Lawrence) are remnants of ‘Singet’s Wood’ which once extended from Oakley to Basingstoke. Ninety-one cartloads of oak timber were sent from there to Bishop William of Wykeham in 1392 to build the roof of the nave of Winchester Cathedral. There are seventeen listed buildings in the Church Oakley Conservation Area, and many other buildings in the village are on the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest. The grounds of Oakley Hall, lying between the villages of Oakley and Deane have been identified as an English Heritage Countryside Heritage Site.
Libraries in Basingstoke and Deane are part of Hampshire Library Service. The local library will provide a free internet service, and a range of useful advice and information. Library staff will help you with computer use, and advice about learning qualifications and local courses. You can also use newspapers and local directories. Larger libraries such as Basingstoke also stock books in other languages, and you can order books in a range of languages in all libraries.
