The population at the 2011 census can be found under High Ercall. Roden Hall, dating in part from the 14th century, when the Lee family, lords of Berrington, were lords of the vill of Roden, was rebuilt in 1868 by the Co-operative Wholesale Society as a convalescent home for millworkers from Lancashire and Yorkshire. It is now a care home, in which English baritone Derek Hammond-Stroud passed his last days. White House, a Grade II listed 16th or 17th century vernacular timber framed house with whitened brick infill panel was formerly used as a post office. Foundations remain of a detached medieval chapel.The hamlet is located on Roden Lane, the B5062 road, one mile southwest of High Ercall; a former toll house stands by the roadside. Local transport links are provided by Arriva in the form of bus route 822 to Wellington. There is a large garden centre at Roden, and the huge greenhouses can be clearly seen from the main road through the village. The surrounding countryside is largely flat pastureland. Possible remains of medieval ridge and furrow field pattern near the river have been detected from the air (1991).Roden had a long history of producing tomatoes, and was once covered in greenhouses owned by the Farmcare subsidiary of the Co-operative Wholesale Society; the society had purchased land there in 1896 for its first farm. By the 1950s some 90% of the Society's site was devoted to growing tomatoes. Most of the greenhouses have now been removed.

Charlton Castle was a fortified manor house situated in Shropshire between Shrewsbury and Telford (grid reference SJ597112). Sir John Charlton was licensed to crenellate his dwelling at Charlton in 1316.

In 1588 it was sold to Francis Newport but then fell into disrepair. The site is on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register due to being very overgrown .

Isombridge is a small hamlet in rural Shropshire. It lies on the border of the civil parishes of Wrockwardine and Rodington, north of Wrockwardine village, near the River Tern. Population details are included under Rodington. Immediately to the north is another small hamlet, Marsh Green, which was formerly on the Shrewsbury Canal until the latter's closure. It was recorded as a manor in the Domesday Book, where its name was written Asnebruge. This was derived from the Old English esne, "servant", and bryce, "bridge": "the bridge of the servants", presumably referring to a bridge over the Tern. The manor, which had been held by a man named Ulf in Saxon times, was later held by Ralph de Mortimer: he subsequently forfeited it and it passed to the lords of Bolas.The area later formed a township of the parish of High Ercall: there was a small chapel here, now long since disappeared.
