The 'Aytrop' refers to the manorial possession by a man called 'Aitrop' held under the ownership of the Abbess of Barking.[3] An earlier alternative name for the manor was 'Grumbalds Roding'. During the reign of James I the manor was in the possession of Thomas Aylet, and was passed to a Richard Luther in 1670. In 1751, by which time the settlement was also termed 'Eythorp Roding', it was in the hands of John Barrington, the manorial lord of Hatfield Broad Oak.[4]
