  Abbess Roding: Introduction | British History Online
(Footnote 6) It was bounded on the north by White Roding, on the west by Matching and Little Laver, and on the east by the River Roding and the parish of Margaret Roding.
A walking postman operated between Ongar and Margaret Roding (about 8 miles) in 1844, but in that year it was stated that this was too far for any man to travel every day and it was decided to terminate the post at Abbess Roding and to transfer the receiving house there from Margaret Roding.
In 1842 it was estimated that the parish contained 1,257 acres of arable, 243 acres of meadow and pasture, and 75 acres of woodland.

However, it seems likely that our early ancestors settled on the banks of the river Roding, grew crops on the valley floor, fished, and hunted in the forest where they would have gathered what natural food they could find.

 Lake System - Part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
After the Glacial Period, the present river system came into being, and the Lea, Roding and Thames cut their way through preceding deposits of gravels, deepening and widening their valleys as they did so, and leaving behind them various beds of gravel, peaty matter and loam.
The Roding is on the eastern boundary, and an eastward slope becomes very pronounced in the vicinity of the river.
The level of water is maintained at a higher level than the adjacent river Roding by pumping water from the river, and a pumphouse is situated at the northern-most point of the lake.

The river with the open land of the Golf Course on the opposite bank is an attractive place, and is quiet but for the hum of the A406 in the distance.
The compacted track at the top of the river bank on which grew an attractive and interesting variety of plants was similarly dealt with, and even what seems some quite unnecessary use was made of grassland areas for vehicles.

I have been talking to local residents, some of whom have lived here for 60 years and know the area well, and they say that on the night of the flood, it is possible that floodgates further up the river Roding, near Stanford Rivers, which hold the river back, were opened.
According to one resident this could be the reason why it flooded at this end, because the water pressure would have been tremendous once the gates were opened.
I have personally seen the river Roding higher than it was on the night of the flood.

 Ongar, North Weald: 12,000 fish killed as brook is poisoned   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

They have also dosed stretches of the river with hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to restore oxygen levels in the water, while a dam has been built to restrict the flow of the pollution into the Roding.
Commenting that major restocking would now be needed to restore river fishing in the area, he revealed that roach, bream, dace, chubb, perch and pike had been among the species of fish that had died.

Its northern edge lies along the southern catchment boundary of the Upper River Colne and the northern catchment boundary of the River Roding, with the sections in between cutting across the Rivers Thames, Colne and Lee sub-parallel to the Chalk outcrop pattern.
Its principal tributaries within the area are the rivers Colne, Brent, Lee, Roding, Beam and Ingrebourne which drain southwards and the rivers Wey, Mole, Ravensbourne, Wandle, Beverley Brook, Chertsey Bourne and The Cut which drain northwards.
It is possible that the river has eroded the London Clay sufficiently to allow a passage for some recharge from the surface through fissures, scour holes or even abandoned boreholes.
