The testator John Blake is of Over Eldon according to his will and this would appear to be Upper Eldon which is near Kings Somborne. This is Stockbridge Registration District and Upper Eldon is not mentioned in the nearby places for Kings Somborne on Genuki. Kings Somborne is nine miles south of Andover. The date of writing must be before 6 Jul 1553 when King Edward VI died.

From British History on Line the following:
South of King's Somborne is the ancient decayed parish of Upper Eldon, (fn. 21) which covers an area of only 295 acres. The old church of St. John the Baptist stands in the farmyard of the manor farm, which displays traces of 17th-century work.
The will of his brother Walter Blake of East Tytherley was probated in 1547 and that will I have only just acquired from Family Search and will do it next just to see if I can relate this Blake line.
