Tugford was recorded in the Domesday Book as a quite large settlement of 22 households. About 1138 the bishop of Hereford ordered Tugford and Baucott chapels to be counted as one ('pro una capella computari') and no later reference to Baucott chapel is known. The abbot of Shrewsbury conveyed the advowson of Tugford to the bishop of Hereford in 1283, and the living was a rectory in 1291, when the church was valued at £5. 8s. 8d.
