ROOTHING-BEAUCHAMP, or Roding-Beauchamp, is a parish of scattered houses, on the west side of the river Roding. It has 1320 acres of land and 250 inhabitants, including the small hamlet of Bird’s Green. T. W. Bramston, Esq. , is lord of the manor, and owner of a great part of the parish, which is all freehold except about eight acres. Mr. Pemberton and several other owners have estates here.
The Church ( St. Botolph) is a small ancient structure, standing on a bold eminence, which commands an extensive view of the surrounding country. It was restored in 1860-1, and several stained glass windows inserted. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £16 13s. 4d., and in 1831 at £261, is in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. William Bond, M.A., who has a good residence and 42A. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1841 for £270 per annum. Roding Labourers’ Friend Society” holds its meetings and ploughing matches annually in this or one of the other eight Rodings or Roothings, which are mostly in Dunmow Hundred.
