Noke is located 6 miles north east of Oxford.
The records were originally deposited in the Bodleian Library by Rev. A.W. Blanchett, rector of Islip and Noke in 1967 and 1969. The material was then transferred to the Oxfordshire History Centre. Other records were deposited as Acc 833 in October 1969 and originally catalogued as Misc Islip II.
The collection was re-catalogued by Alison Smith in November 2011. An appendix gives the concordance of old Bodleian Library catalogue references with the new Oxfordshire History Centre references.
