Rode church is at the south-east end of the village, the bulk of which is to the north-west towards the River Frome. This view was taken from the south-west. The A361 Frome to Trowbridge road separates St Laurence's church, with its rugged and battlemented 15th-century west tower, from the rest of the village.
