Sidcot & Oakridge
Sidcot and Oakridge are the hamlets which lie to the east of the A38 from Winscombe village. Most of the associated landscape is designated as National Landscapes (AONB).
Sidcot School & Meeting House
In 1690 Harbury Batch was purchased and it became the original Quaker Meeting House at Sidcot. This building continued to be used until 1818 when the new Meeting House was built nearby.
Sidcot School, an independent day and boarding school, was founded in 1808 although an earlier Quaker school for boys was opened in Sidcot in 1699.
Belgian Avenue
Belgian Avenue lies between Fountain Lane and Oakridge Lane. The footpath running through the field is bordered by Beech trees which are all subject to TPOs. These trees were planted after the First World War by Belgian refugees to thank Sidcot residents for housing them during the war.
The late professor Mick Aston recorded a considerable amount of Anglo Saxon pottery in the eastern part of Belgian field which he conceded might be stray finds but he considered that the area would have formerly contained a medieval farmstead site, probably close to the present nearby cottages.
