The Goddard family were a prominent landed family chiefly living in the northern region of
the English counties of Wiltshire and Hampshire and the western part of Berkshire, between
the Tudor period and the late modern era.
The Goddard family were established at Upper Upham House, near Aldbourne, from at least
the late 15th century. From 1563 until 1927, the family were lords of the manor of Swindon,
living on the Goddard Estate in The Lawns. Other important manors included Clyffe Pypard and
Ogbourne St George in Wiltshire, Standen at Hungerford in Berkshire and Stargroves at East
Woodhay in Hampshire.
