<br> Here is an important jurisdictional perspective by Samuel A. Lewis -
 
STROOD (St. Nicholas), a '''parish''', in the union of North Aylesford, partly within the jurisdiction of the city of Rochester, and partly in the hundred of Shamwell, lathe of Aylesford, W. division of Kent, ½ a mile (N. W.) from Rochester. There is a place of worship for Independents. <ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51315#s7 ''A Topographical Dictionary of England''] (1848), pp. 250-252.
