"ROYDON, a parish partly in the hundred of WALTHAM, but chiefly in that of HARLOW, county of ESSEX, 4½ miles (W. by S.) from Harlow, containing 796 inhabitants. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Middlesex, and diocese of London, rated in the king's books at £12, endowed with £200 private benefaction, and £200 parliamentary grant, and in the patronage of the Hon. W. T. L. P. Wellesley. The church is dedicated to St. Peter. John Manning, in 1768, founded a free school, and endowed it with a house and lands for teaching the children of the parish. Here is still standing the curious ancient gateway of the mansion of Nether Hall, demolished about 1773." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
