All Saints Church, Berners Roding, Essex Constructed sometime during the 14th century in the tiny hamlet of Berners Roding (or Roothing in some historical references) It is one of nine Anglo Saxon settlements near the River Roding from which they all take their name. All Saints once had a wooden belfry at its Western end and carried a single bell dated 1594, both now gone. The church fell into disuse probably because of its isolated location and was deconsecrated in 1985. The building is now in a poor structural state and privately owned, but the churchyard is under the care of "Epping Forest Countrycare".
