Removal of doubtful material edit

I have removed the following since it is unclear to me whether the Rodings is accepted as a multiple estate. "One such estate in the Rodings (the largest group of parishes in England to bear a common name.[1]) was investigated by Steven Basset.[2] Basset showed that roads and a broadly rectilinear field system continued across parish boundaries thus pre-dating the formation of parishes.[3] He therefore concluded that they had originally been a single estate. He further concluded that there had been a minster church at White Roding with the churches in the other parishes previously being dependent chapels."
