    WalterE Samborne ([John?]F, NicholasG-H) was born say 1420. He died before 24 Feb 1482/3, when the escheator of Berkshire was directed to investigate Walter's lands held of the Crown and identify his heirs. No inquisition post mortem or will has been found for him. He died probably at his manor of Southcote, near Reading Berkshire, which he held by right of marriage. He was buried in Greyfriars Church in Reading, according to his widow, Margaret, who wished to be buried under the same stone. Walter married, by say 1450, Margaret Drew, daughter of Thomas and Agnes (-) Drew of Seagray, Wiltshire, and Southcote, Berkshire. As heiress to the Drew estates, she brought the manor of Southcote and other nearby lands into the marriage. By a final concord dated 3 November 1454, Walter and Margaret Samborne with Thomas and Agnes Drew sold the manors of South cote, Berkshire, with Buckhurst (parish of Wokingham), and Littleton Drew (near Chippenham), Wiltshire, to John Jangeton." At some point, however, Walter and Margaret Samborne reacquired Southcote as shown by Margaret's inquisition post mortem. Drew Samborne, their son and heir, was seized of Southcote and Buckhurst at the time of his death in 1506/7.

    At his death, Walter's estate also included the manors of Chippenham, Sopworth, and Lushill in Wiltshire, apparently passed to him by his father or grandfather. Walter's three younger sons divided these manors among themselves, claiming that their elder brother Drew had drawn up a document agreeing that they should have them. Nicholas took possession of Chippenham, John took Lushill, and Walter took Sopworth. Drew's granddaughter Margaret and her husband, William Wyndesore (Windsor), however, sued to recover the manors, denying the existence of such an agreement."

    Walter sporadically testified in chancery or was otherwise mentioned in chancery documents regarding a lengthy dispute over the Cricklade estates. At issue were the manors of Cadman and Stodley in Wiltshire. Walter and his brother-in-law John Cricklade Sr. were sued by their nephew John Cricklade Jr., son of Robert Cricklade. John Jr. eventually prevailed. In November 1466, after a decade of litigation, John Cricklade Sr. and Walter Samborne settled the disputed manors on John Cricklade Jr.

    Walter's widow, Margaret Sambourne, died in Southcote on 14 February 1494/5, seized of the manors of Southcote and Pynsons. Drew Samborne, age 45 "and more," was her son and heir." Margaret executed a short will on 12 February 1494/5, two days before her death, which was proved on 20 Febru ary following. She requested burial in the chapel of Friars Minorum [Greyfri ars Church] in Reading under the stone where Walter Samborne [her late husband] was buried. Nicholas Samborne [her son] was named residuary legatee and co-executor with Edward Bartelott.
