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.

Ashcroft to Crested Butte and back - Cher, Bill, and I left Boulder Saturday morning around 4 and drove to Ashcroft. A number of others, including Christie, Logan, and Karl, drove to Crested Butte the evening before. We were able to send camping gear around with them. We didn't start riding 'til around 9 Saturday morning, but the weather forecast was good.
We rode the famous and popular Pearl Pass. We came up with a few reasons why it's famous and popular:
it's high; at 12705' I've only ridden one pass that's higher (Imogene - 13114') and I can only think of two others in Coloroado that are higher than those two (Argentine - 13132' and Mosquito - 13186')
it hosts the oldest mountain bike event in the world, started in 1976
it's drivable so many more people have been over it than the (we found out later) far better Star Pass and Taylor Pass route
The ride is brutal. It was continuously steep from the Ashcroft side and very rocky in sections. We walked a lot. Then we crested the pass and walked a lot on the way down.
Exhausted from the ride, I was happy to have a fairly short ride for our rest day in Crested Butte. We car-shuttled our bikes up to Schofield Pass (10707') and rode the classic 401 Trail mostly downhill to where we had cold drinks waiting. Karl hitch-hiked up the pass to retrieve the other car while the rest of us enjoyed beer and wine in the shade.
Stubborn as we are, we stuck with Monday's plan to ride back to Ashcroft. Really, we didn't have a choice. It was the only logical way to get back to the car we left in Ashcroft. Bill drove back since he had to work, and under-employed Karl took his place. The weather forecast wasn't great so we snuck out of Crested Butte a little before 6 in the pre-dawn darkness.
The Star Pass (12300') Taylor Pass (11928') route ended up (as shown in the photos) being phonomenal. There's a lot of singletrack, almost the whole route is ridable, and it stays up high for a long, beautiful section between the two passes. I'd like to do that ride again in both directions.
With around 210,000 passengers a year (or about 575 passengers a day), Roding Valley is the least-used station on the entire Underground network. This was the sole reason for my visit!
All Saints, High Roding, Essex
A mile distant from its village, at the end of a long lane with only a farm for company. The church was locked with a keyholder notice, two keyholders. A medium sized late medieval church with no tower. The churchyard was bowling-green smooth. There didn't seem much of interest through the largely clear windows. A large graveyard, though, for the village it serves is the largest in the area, so plenty of people sleeping the sleep of the just in the churchyard. Oddly, several of the graves have 1930s ceramic floral displays under glass domes - strange to think of them sitting here for 80 years. I cycled on, up through the village. I hadn't realised how high I was, but as I turned back towards the forest I descended steeply for several miles to the very pretty village of Great Canfield with its church.

I rode this ride quite some time ago. I liked it. I think it's now forever closed.
