Notes about this historic site

1 Domesday makes no mention of a mill here, but about a century later a mill at Sambourne was let to farm. In 1433 the Abbot of Evesham demised to John Throckmorton for 90 years ‘the Mullemede’ and other lands in Sambourne. Further references occur in 15th century and 16th century. The documentary evidence supports the theory that the mill was on the boundary of Coughton.
