The Staple Hill Oak

The name Staple Hill appears on the earliest map of the area, dated 1610. However, no houses are shown on the map. All that is marked is an oak tree, known as The Staple Hill Oak. Staple Hill evolved as a community alongside an ancient track from Bristol to the Saxon royal hunting lodge at Pucklechurch. However, it was not until the 19th century that Staple Hill began to develop into the area we know today.
