Welcome to Scragged Oak

Scragged Oak is a small village located in the county of Kent, England. The village is situated near the town of Sevenoaks and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The name Scragged Oak is believed to have originated from a large oak tree that once stood in the village, which was said to have been "scragged" or twisted in shape.

The village of Scragged Oak has a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The village was once home to a number of farms and smallholdings, which were owned by local landowners. Today, many of these farms have been converted into residential properties, but the village still retains its rural charm. Scragged Oak is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Mary's Church, which is a Grade II listed building.

Despite its small size, Scragged Oak has a strong sense of community. The village has a number of local amenities, including a village hall, a primary school, and a pub. The village also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. Scragged Oak is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
