Possible Site of Chapel of St Andrew, Sambourne.

1 Truslove’s, a small farmhouse, now two tenements, a little to the NW of Sambourne Hall is the conjectural site of the ancient Sambourne Chapel, but there are no visible remains. The S part of the house has two early 16th century moulded beams to the lower storey; they divide the length from E to W into three bays. The rest of the house is obviously a later enlargement. Before the Reformation there was a chapel of St Andrew here, in which one of the canons of Studley celebrated Mass thrice a week. The last canon who officiated appears among the charges of Studley Priory at the Dissolution. In 1546 some of the inhabitants withheld their tithes because their priest had been withdrawn, but their protest was in vain and the chapel fell into disuse.
