The Manor of SAMES has been created around 1200 by subinfeudation. The manor was held by knight service from the overlord, the Bishop of Ely. End of 16th century, SAMES was purchased by same Lord as Crowlands and Lisle both also in Cottenham. But the three manors were not merged, and kept their own separate records. In 2024 a separate sale was done and the present lord owns only SAMES title.
