The Rodings
The Rodings (or Roothings) are a group of villages in Essex, England, the largest group in the country to bear a common name.〔 (Registration required.)〕 They are believed to be the remnants of a single Anglo-Saxon community known as the ''Hroðingas'', led by ''Hroða'', who sailed up the River Thames and along a tributary in the sixth century and settled in the area.〔 This was one of the sub-kingdoms that were absorbed into the Kingdom of Essex.〔Andrew Reynolds, ''Later Anglo-Saxon England'' (Tempus, 2002, page 67) drawing on S Bassett (ed) ''The Origin of Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms'' (Leicester, 1989)〕 The River Roding and the villages derived their name from ''Hroda''.〔 The typical pronunciation of the name is ''"Roadings"''. The Rodings formed a single land unit that was investigated by Stephen Basset.
The villages are recorded in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as ''Rodinges'' in the Hundred of Dunmow. In the time of Edward the Confessor, it was held by the Abbey of St Æthelthryth of Ely; however, after the Norman Conquest, part was taken by William de Warenne.〔 Part was also held by the de Veres and de Mandevilles families, who became the Earls of Oxford and Earls of Essex.〔 By the 14th century, the boundaries and names of the villages had become fairly established.〔 Abbess Beauchamp and Berners Roding now form a single parish in the district of Epping Forest.
