The Lyd (a brook, which streams into the River Wye) developed, for part of its trips, the border 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 How Brook which joins the Lyd is recognized on contemporary maps as Little Hough Brook. Detailed in the 1282 entries of those that had cultivated land, William of Ludebrok (Lydbrook), appears under the church of Bikenore, and also under the parish of Rywardin. Instead of being 2 separate tracts in varying regions, it was possibly that William's land will have included the brook, hence his incorporation in the records for both parishes. Furthermore, under the entrance for Bikenore is recorded, Robert of Stoufeld (Stowfield). Therefore the advancement of Lydbrook started at Lower Lydbrook.
