Om tegemoet te komen aan de eisen van de Nederlandse beheerders van natuurgebieden in zelfredzaamheid van runderen, heeft de Stichting Ark-natuurontwikkeling een nieuwe kruising ontwikkeld, de Rode Geus. Brandrode runderen worden daarbij gemengd met het Franse Salers vee uit het Centraal Massief van Frankrijk. De Salers is éénkleurig rood, heeft grotere hoorns en een krullende vacht. Het resultaat, de Rode Geus, is een vriendelijk, zelfredzaam dier.
In order to meet the requirement of the Dutch authorities in nature regarding self-reliance of cattle, the Ark Nature Development Foundation has developed a new crossbreed, the Rode Geus. To create them, Brandrood cattle are mixed with the French Salers cattle from the Massif Central of France. The Salers is unicoloured red, has larger horns and a curly coat. The result, the Rode Geus, is a friendly, self-reliant animal

This standing stone lies to the NE of St Botolph's church, and was probably there before the church was built. Sometimes, as at Wicken Bonhunt, these stones were built into the walls of Christian churches, either for want of good building stone, or to Christianise pagan sites.
The Beauchamp Roding stone may have been a boundary marker, or a survival of a pre-christian place of worship. The "high places" so roundly condemned in the Old Testament also had standing stones, and for a time the Israelites worshipped both there and at the Temple.

Open. This is a dramatic sight about a quarter of a mile above the Dunmow to Ongar road. A sandy track climbs up to it. Kentish ragstone and crumbling cement make it seem a very dour place - it is obviously still in use and loved, but in dreadful condition with missing roof tiles and a few broken panes. The setting makes it seem much more remote than it actually is.
Inside is like a time capsule of the 1870s, everything just as it was. The church is obviously open 24 hours a day. To the south of the church is an enormous badgers sett - the dead aren't going to get much rest around there.

Rode Estate has been in the ownership of the Wilbraham family since 1669. It was originally bought from Randle Rode by his cousin Roger Wilbraham. The Wilbrahams were prominent landowners in Cheshire at that time and Rode was purchased for Randle, the younger son of Roger Wilbraham of Townsend, now part of Nantwich, for £2,400.
Roger was decended from Sir Richard de Wilburgham, Sherrif of Cheshire in 1259. Rode passed through the male line until 1900 when Katherine, an only child, succeeded her father General Sir Richard. She had married George Baker in 1872 and, by Royal Licence, they assumed Wilbraham as their principal surname. In 1910 George Baker succeeded to the Baker baronetcy on the death of his elder brother
The current custodians of the family home are Sir Richard and Lady Baker Wilbraham.
Randle records completing the first brick house in 1708 having demolished the original manor house, probably half timbered and very similar to Little Moreton Hall. At the side of the original brick hall is a larger later building. This was built for Randle's son, also named Randle. This second rectangular two-and-a-half storey house has been adapted by each generation to suit their needs and taste.
Shortly before the death of Randle Baker Wilbraham, the seventh baronet in 1980, the decision was taken to open the house to the public and, at the same time, help was sought from English Heritage to enable urgent restoration work to be undertaken. A very serious outbreak of dry rot was detected and it was not until 1987 that the work was completed. Since this time, Sir Richard and Lady Baker Wilbraham have welcomed thousands of visitors to Rode Hall and Gardens to share the beauty of the house which is especially noted for its family portraits, Gillow furniture and fine collection of porcelain and pottery.
Extensive work has been put into the gardens to restore them to their nineteenth-century magnificence and the annual Rode Gardens Snowdrop Walks are a key highlight of many garden-lovers’ diaries.
