Its toponym is derived from "Oak Clearing," and a green used as common pasture by farmers of the parish.
The area is the purported site of the battle of Acleah, in 851, between King Æthelwulf of Wessex and the Danes, resulting in a victory for Æthelwulf.[1] It grew as a small village linking the route between Windsor and Reading, serving as a stop for packhorse traders.
