Bix Manor, Bix

the origins of which can be traced back to two Saxon settlements, Bixa Brand and Bixa Gibwin/Gibwyn. The origin of the name Bix is most likely to have been box shrub, a type of evergreen which grows in the parish. The Hamlet of 'modern' Bix is close to the location of Byxe/Bixa Gibwin/Gibwyn. There appears now to be little evidence of historic Bix and the hamlet comprises mainly up-market houses spread around three sides of an open grassed common and out along the roads to Lower and Middle Assendon. The 'new' parish church of St James was built in the centre of the village in 1875.
