The here and now community of Lydbrook seems to have had its beginnings in the 13th century. In a record of a sale of trees in 1256, mention is constructed from 'the Mill of Lydbrook'. Even more early notes on Lydbrook take place in a study of the Forest of Dean in 1282. The Lyd (a brook, which moves right into the River Wye) created, for part of its travels, the border in between the Bailiwicks of Bikenore (English Bicknor) as well as Rywardin (Ruardean). Today numerous maps call the Lyd, Hough Brook, or Great Hough Brook, and also Just how Brook which joins the Lyd is understood on contemporary maps as Little Hough Brook. Provided in the 1282 entrances of those who possessed cultivated land, William of Ludebrok (Lydbrook), shows up under the parish of Bikenore, as well as under the church of Rywardin. Instead of being two separate pieces of land in differing areas, it was possibly that William's land will have included the creek, thus his inclusion in the documents for both churches. Furthermore, under the access for Bikenore is recorded, Robert of Stoufeld (Stowfield). Hence the advancement of Lydbrook began at Lower Lydbrook.
