==History== According to Eilert Ekwall, the meaning of the name is "homestead of Assi". Before the Norman Conquest, the village was held by Siward Barn. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the village as being made up of 78 households including 5 villagers, 6 freemen, 55 smallholders, and 12 slaves along with 23 cattle, 60 pigs, 90 sheep, 12 goats, 6 beehives, 30 pigs, 1 mill, and 16 acres of meadow. At the time the Lord and tenant in chief of the village was Ranulf Peverel 78 households implies a population similar to that of today
