| In April 1540 Abbess Roding was granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Cromwell. |
| Abbess Hall farm-house is timber-framed and plastered and was probably rebuilt or much altered in the late 17th or early 18th century. |
| If so, it appears that there was an estate in Abbess Roding which in the 12th century was held by William de Selflege, lord of Shelley (q.v.), as tenant of the Mandevilles and which descended in 1182 to Michael Fitz Oger as the purparty of his wife Sarah, daughter and coheir of William de Selflege. |
