Looks like "Assen Senr"

There are two Assendens (Lower and Upper) in Oxfordshire - could it be one of those?

I've been searching the Oxfordshire parishes, Prue - Think that second word could certainly be Lower - Lowr .

Good one

Hi Gadget,

The Assendens are in South Oxfordshire, There is a Lower and a Middle Assedon, but I have not heard of Upper Assendon at all, though there might have been at one tiime.

It is a very beautiful area! http://www.bixandassendon.org.uk/

Hi Rabbit

It was Prue that found it - not me. I just interpreted the Lowr bit.

Yes - it does look a lovely area

Hi Gadget,

I have just googled Upper Assendon, because I was curious, it looks as if at one time it might have been the land round Christmas Common that was referred to as Upper Assendon.  That is the top end of the now Stonor valley.

No disrespect to Prue [sorry Pru] but I am a local you see!

No, Rabbit, you're correct - I had a temporary lapse and wrote "Upper" but it is actually "Middle"

Hi Prue,

Actually it is you who is correct, sort of!  My OH tells me that there is a hamlet of only a few houses, called Higher Assendon. 

I was telling him about this last night, he used to deliver cars for a while after he retired, for the local garage.  One chap had an address at Higher Assendon,  turn right out of the Stonor Valley up a steep hill toward Christmas Common I am told.

So I was wrong I did not know that!  But you learn something new every day don't you.
