* The road was named after Marcia Rolls, the mother of Charles Rolls, founder of the Rolls-Royce car company. The family owned the land here when the first houses were built. Neighbouring Hendre Road was named after the family’s estate in Wales. ‘Marcia’ is pronounced ‘Marce-ia’ not ‘Marsh-a’, which is an American pronunciation.
