The Assendon Spring
The Assendon Spring The Assendon Spring is so called because it flows, in the main part, down the Assendon valley. Its source is beside an oak tree in Upper Assendon (now known as Stonor). It then flows in ditches alongside the B480 road through Middle Assendon to Lower Assendon. From Lower Assendon it flows in a further ditch alongside The Fair Mile (A4130) to Northfield End, where it disappears underground. The pipes containing the Assendon spring in Henley-on-Thames traverse along New Street to the River Thames. Houses built along the Assendon valley have small bridges crossing the ditch. The grassy ditch continues on the east side of the Fair Mile. The Assendon Spring last flowed in great volume in the winter of 2000-2001. This caused road closures in Lower Assendon and along the Fair Mile. In the 1960s a council worker who travelled by bicycle regularly dug out the ditch. The field in which the spring rose contained a wide trench about two metes deep. This was later filled in. The spring’s ditch had also not been properly maintained in the late 20th century and so the roads along the Assendon valley quickly flooded. On several occasions this flooding froze over and at least one car travelling near Stonor skidded and ended upside down in the ditch. Emergency work was carried out to deepen the ditch and install underground pipes for the spring in Assendon and in Northfield End, Henley. Prior to this, the Assendon Spring flowed in 1960. It took several weeks for the water to reach Henley and the River Thames and the flow was fully contained in the trench and ditch, with no flooding. -
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place. -
Warburg Nature Reserve, Nettlebed
point your feet on a new path Warburg Nature Reserve, Nettlebed Distance: 8½ km=5½ miles easy-to-moderate walking Region: Chilterns Date written: 27-jul-2019 Author: Phegophilos Last update: 10-jul-2020 Refreshments: Nettlebed, Middle Assendon (after the walk) Map: 171 (Chiltern Hills South) but the maps in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Nature reserve, woodland, historic village, hills, views In Brief This walk leads you from the dense microclimate of a nature reserve, into extensive woods, to the historic village of Nettlebed, then through forest and meadows on a pleasant trek ending back at the nature reserve. Refreshments are to be had in the village of Nettebed, either in the pub / hotel * or in the Field Kitchen which has produced some favourable comments. (* To enquire at the White Hart , ring 01491-641245.) This walk is also part of the Bix-Ewelme chain walk and can be combined with one or two other nearby walks to make a larger walk of up to 25 km=15½ miles. Look for the “chain link” icons in the margins or the “chain link” symbols in the map. There are a few small patches of nettles near the start of the walk, so shorts might be a problem. Underfoot the ground is fairly firm, so any strong com- fortable footwear should be fine. This walk should be ideal for your dog. -

Bolney and Lashbrook Material for Article 4
BOLNEY AND LASHBROOK Beyond Domesday ……. To recap - at the time of the Domesday recording Shiplake was two medieval manors, Bolney and Lashbrook (with a smaller estate at Crowsley) Tenant in Chief of Lashbrook was Walter Giffard and he had made Hugh of Bolbec Lord of the Manor. Tenant in Chief of Bolney was Earl William and lord of the manor was Gilbert de Bretteville. Lashbrook 12 hides (approx 1440 acres) Bolney 8 hides (960 acres) 9 Ploughlands 7 Ploughlands 13 households 16 households. Bolney’s medieval manor house was probably (like its successor Shiplake Court/College) immediately next to Shiplake Church, and Lashbrook’s closer to the river at Lashbrook Farm. However, some parts of Bolney were contained in what is now Harpsden (The southern boundary with Shiplake followed the edge of High Wood before cutting across fields and following short stretches of field and woodland boundaries to the Thames) and there was a substantial manor house Bolney Court, also with a church, near the river. Bolney Manor (after doomsday) 1103 Son of Walter Giffard, also Walter, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, and Lord of Caversham took over when his father died. When, on his death he died without issue in 1164 The Langetot family – Ralph, then Emma and her husband Geoffrey Fitzwilliam owned the manor until in 1185 their daughter Muriel took control. She lived in Shiplake, probably at or near the site of the Shiplake Court (now Shiplake College). In 1209 Muriel’s two sons by her first husband, Alan de Dunstanville, were landowners. Firstly, Alan de Dunstanville and then when he died, his brother, Geoffrey. -

Bix and the Assendons
point your feet on a new path Bix and the Assendons Distance: 8½ km=5½ miles easy walking Region: Chilterns Date written: 5-oct-2015 Author: Phegophilos Last update: 5-jan-2021 Refreshments: Lower and Middle Assendon Map: Explorer 171 (Chiltern Hills West) hopefully not needed Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Meadows, woodland, pubs, deer park, views, pubs In Brief This unusual walk in typical Chilterns landscapes is full of variety and interest. The three villages in the title are one parish joined in history and between them are woodlands, meadows and parkland. The route of this walk finds a surprising lost path through a deer park direct to the charming village of Lower Assendon with “private” access to one of the best pub / restaurants in the Henley area (to enquire at the Golden Ball , ring 01491- 574157). Another great Chiltern pub features at the end of the walk (to enquire at the Rainbow Inn , ring 01491- 574879), making this a kind of double pub walk. There are no nettles to speak of on this walk so bare legs are unlikely to be irritated. However, in high summer, because of the rare paths used on this walk, some of the hedgerows may be overgrown and a hiking stick will be useful. In damper seasons, boots may be an advantage in the long woodland walk; otherwise good walking shoes or trainers are adequate.
