Is The Oak on the National Inventory? Yes: rated Regional (record 50020057).
Can you visit The Oak? Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was The Oak built? Its National Inventory record dates it to 1860–1870.
Is The Oak protected? Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
