Leaden Roding Hall. A manor house, dating to 1400, and adjacent house, early 16th century, together forming a 'Unit System' group, altered in the 16th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is now occupied as three tenements and is a moated site. RCHM (2). Grade II. <4>
Site Assessment = The group is exceptionally important historically as (as at January 1983) only one other manorial 'unit system group' is known in Essex and that is much altered. Both buildings still retain their original timber structures but only visible at roof level. Panelling and doorhead reported by RCHM not visible. House was then in poor condition but what is visible of the original structure is now in excellent condition. <5>
