    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.
