| It is described in Griffith's Valuation of 1857 as containing one acre two roods and five perches and owned by him. |
| It was part of an area of 15 acres, three roods and four perches originally granted to John Dickson. |
| In 1914, 1 acre was taken for a pumice quarry, and subsequently 3 roods, or 27.8 perches, were returned to the descendants of those owners. |
| The most famous of the roods was that of Boxley in Kent, which used to smile and bow, or frown and shake its head, as its worshippers were generous or closehanded. |
| The Durker Roods Hotel at Meltham has been bought by Honley entrepreneurs Pauline and Richard Hough. |
| Nine roods did he cover in his fall, and his hair was all soiled in the dust, while his armour rang rattling round him. |
