"ROADE, a parish in the hundred of Cleley, county Northampton, 5½ miles S. of Northampton, its post town, and the same distance N. of Towcester. It is a station on the London and North-Western railway. The village, which is of small extent, is situated near the Blisworth cutting of the Birmingham railway and the canal tunnel. Some of the inhabitants are employed in the shoe trade. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Peterborough, value £100, in the joint patronage of the Duke of Grafton and Rector of Ashton. The church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, is an ancient cruciform structure, with a tower containing a clock, which has no dial, and four bells. There is a stone in the wall recording the date of 1619, probably the period when that portion of the church was rebuilt. The parochial charities produce about £26 per annum, exclusive of £4 for almshouses. There is a Church school for both sexes. The Wesleyans and Baptists have each a place of worship. The Duke of Grafton is lord of the manor."[From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868). Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003]
