Evesham Abbey held the Manor of Ombersley for several centuries until the Dissolution, its abbots often residing there. In the early 17th century it came into the possession of the Sandys family.

My great-grandparents named their house in Hounslow-Ombersley. They moved there before 1924 as I have pics of my mother at the front gate. I wonder if either of them came from Ombersley and what is the connection. My great-grandma was Caroline Richardson and grandpa Arthur Fensom.
