There is an entry for Sambourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SP0561/sambourne/] [accessed 20 November 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 3, 1945) notes: "Sambourne forms part of the ecclesiastical parish of Coughton, though it has been a separate civil parish at least since the 17th century. [...] Before the Reformation there was a chapel of St. Andrew here, in which one of the canons of Studley celebrated Mass thrice a week. [...] There is a chapel-of-ease with a graveyard, built in 1892 and served by the vicar of Coughton." [NB: not clear whether other parochial services were provided in the old chapel here].
