The River Hooke in Dorset runs from its source at Toller Whelme through the villages of Hooke, Kingcombe, Toller Porcorum and Toller Fratrum to join the Frome at Maiden Newton, a course of some 6 miles. The river was formerly called the Toller: its present name has apparently been taken from that of the village of Hooke by back-formation.
