No clue, James who is the subject of the will was born in 1730ish where is unknown.
his 4 children john ann louisa and harriett were born 1783, 1785, 1787 and 1790 all baptised in Abinger, Surrey. Joseph BAGG must be a relative of sorts........ brother ??, son by a 1st mariage as ann his named wife was 23 years his junior.

As I said, I've searched everywhere for this Joseph. Only ones that look possible on census and IGI nearly all are Dorset.
I can't find a Parish that looks anything like this in Oxfordshire or Berkshire. Assenden (Lower, Middle or Upper) is the only one that comes anywhere close to it but it wasn't a parish in it's own right.
I think it might be worth waiting for Rabbit to come up with something - she's the local

Hi Mrs Rabbit
Iain sent me the full will.
The A is consistent with all the other As in the text. The 'f' is unlike the other fs and is, to my mind, definitely the old s. The L could be an S but I'm still going with L and the superscript is definitely an r. I'm still voting for Assen/Asson Lower!
My eyes are not in a good state now 
I think you'll have to as Iain for permission

Real tricky one this!
I've looked at numerous things too - been through all the registration district lists, etc.
Even tried looking on ancestry, at parish registers, censuses, freebdm familysearch, etc, etc - they don't leave mcuh in the way of clues. (in the hope of tracking forward and backwards).
I do think there is embellishment in the writing style., which might deceive.

i agree.
i still think the original Assendon may be correct.
