Toponymy
[edit | edit source]"Rode" (Old English rod) means "(wood)land cleared for farming". There are several competing explanations of the meaning of "Odd": "Old";[5] "Odd" (Middle English odde) in the sense of "the third of three", i.e. to contrast this Rode with North Rode and Rode Heath; "Hood's" (Middle English hod), from the name of a thirteenth-century tenant of the manor; "Odda's", from an Old English forename.[6]
Churches
[edit | edit source]There are three Anglican Church of England churches in the parish: All Saints', Scholar Green; St. Luke's, Mow Cop; and The Church of the Good Shepherd, Rode Heath. The churches have long histories and host services and events throughout the year. The current incumbent priest is the Rev. Philip Atkinson.[7]
