Domesday Book has no separate entry for Wilsford; in 1086 the estate was held by Ælfric of Melksham and mortgaged to Edward of Salisbury. Edward gave it to his daughter Maud and her husband Humphrey de Bohun, and it remained in that family who were later Earls of Hereford. In 1421 the estate passed to Anne, Countess of Stafford whose son Humphrey was made Duke of Buckingham. It was granted to Sir William Sandys, later Baron Sandys and remained in Sandys ownership until 1654. Later owners included Sir John Hynde Cotton and Sir John Dugdale Astley.
