It possibly descended to Sir Hugh STROUD [fl 1315] and Henry STROUD [fl 1332]. Another Hugh STROUD held it in 1376 and another Henry STROUD in 1412. It belonged circa 1556 to Wm BUSH " etc *1677-1831 ex BM ex Victorian County History for Wilts.: "Lands bought by Anthony STROUD in 1677 were held by his relict (widow) in 1705. They apparently passed to John STROUD [fl 1714] and in 1721 may have belonged to another Anthony STROUD [fl 1760]. In 1778 Thomas STROUD held the lands over 100 acres in the north part of the Parish. (A Thomas STROUD held them until 1831 or later. -ex Land Tax Assesments for Baydon.) They seem to have passed into the TUBB family, possibly to Wm TUBB or to T TUBB and James TUBB."
