It was thought at one time Oakley held a very rare (and possibly unique) double distinction, in that a Victoria Cross recipient, Edward Brooks, and a Medal of Honor recipient, James J. Pym, were both born in the village - however the latter has been found to be from Garsington, a village 10 miles (16 km) away in Oxfordshire.
In 1963 Oakley was centre of national and international news, when Leatherslade Farm near Oakley was used as a hideout by the criminal gang involved in The Great Train Robbery
