Notes: 

 

All three Revd John Sidays are different, the first John Siday being the father of the second and the grandfather of the third.

 

The first Revd John Siday was also Rector of Holy Innocents Lamarsh from 1637 until 1670. During this time he lived mainly in Beauchamp Roding and this is said to account for the Church and Rectory in Lamarsh falling into disrepair during this time.

 

The date of the appointment of the Revd William Wickstead is unknown but it is know that he was appointed as Perpetual Curate of Berners Roding in 1766 and held both posts at the time of his death.

 

The Revd Nicholas Layton appears not to have resided in the Parish.

 

The Revd J T Barrett was appointed by the Widow of the Revd T H Foxcroft.

 

The Revd William Bond is buried in the Churchyard as is his wife, there are memorials to both him and his wife inside the Church. There are houses in the Villages named after him - "Bond Cottages".

 

The Revd J Howard was the last Rector to live in Beauchamp Roding. He served as Curate from 1882 until his appointment as Rector in 1887.

 

The Revd Charles L Capel Cure was appointed Rector of Abbess Roding in 1912, he became Rector of the joint Benefice of Abbess & Beauchamp Roding in 1927. The Beauchamp Roding Rectory was sold at this time.

 

Revd Roger Griffin was also Rector of Good Easter and Berners Roding as well as Abbess & Beauchamp, he lived in the Rectory at Good Easter.

 

Revd John B C Hordern was Rector of Leaden Roding 1939-58 and also White Roding from 1942.
