Etymology
The name (parcus de ) Essebir ' occurs 1241Ass (p), probably with reference to land in the north of Woolstone parish, and there is an Ashbury Mead 1771Barrington , near Oxlease Fm in the same vicinity. These places were not near Uffington Castle, but the names probably represent a survival of Æscesbyrig , used of the whole estate before the names Woolstone and Uffington came into use.
