In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Oare like this:
OARE, a chapelry in Chieveley parish, Berks; 2½ miles E of Chieveley village, and 5½ N by W of Thatcham r.station. Post-town, Chieveley, under Newbury. The statistics are returned with the parish. The living is ap. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Chieveley, in the diocese of Oxford. The church is later English, has a bell-turret. and was recently restored. There is a Quakers' burying-ground, long disused.
