Sambourne forms part of the ecclesiastical parish of Coughton, though it has been a separate civil parish at least since the 17th century. (fn. 1) It is divided from Coughton by Cane Brook, and the Ryknield Street, here known as Haydon Way, crosses the parish from north to south. The village itself, about 1½ miles northwest of Coughton, is centred round a small triangular green at the junction of four roads and contains several timber-framed buildings of 17th-century date. The Green Dragon Inn, a modern brick house, has a lower east extension of 17th-century timber-framing, and a tiled roof.
The manor of Sambourne was part of the original, or at least a very early, endowment of the abbey of Evesham. (fn. 13) It appears as such in Domesday, where it is assessed at 3 hides, (fn. 14) and so remained until the Dissolution. In 1285 the abbot claimed view of frankpledge, sac and soc, tol and teme, infangthief, weyf, assize of bread and ale and a gallows here which served for all the neighbouring manors. (fn. 15)
