Await comments.

I wonder if you mean Hadham?

Hertsonline has the following:

Thomas GROUT m. Agnes Parrat in LITTLE HADHAM on 11th February 1581
Richard GROUT m. Margaret Blackwell in Bushey on 20th July 1584
Thomas Hutchin . m. Ruth GROUT in MUCH HADHAM on 8th September 1656

There are also other Grout marriages, suggests Hertfordshire holds the records.

Researching:
Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Registers are at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies.

According to Phillimore's Atlas the registers for both Little and Much Hadham start in 1559.
