Roos is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated 12 miles (19 km) east from Kingston upon Hull city centre and 3.5 miles (6 km) north-west from Withernsea, and on the B1242 road.

History

The name Roos derives from the Primitive Welsh ros meaning 'moor' or 'promontory'.[2]

The de Ros family originated from the village of Roos.[3] Robert de Ros (died 1227) was one of the twenty-five barons appointed under clause 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta agreement to monitor its observance by King John of England.[4]

Governance

The meeting of Beren and Luthien in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings, was written after the author and his wife visited a wood near to Roos. The "hemlocks"[11] in the wood are said to have inspired his verse.[12]

The flowers, Anthriscus sylvestris, are what books might call cow parsley ... among many other names; but Tolkien referred to all such white-flowered umbellifers (and not just the highly poisonous Conium maculatum) by the usual rural name of hemlock. [In a footnote, Garth adds that Christopher Tolkien noted that his father objected to the habit of limiting vernacular names to "this or that species" as the "pedantry of popularizing botanists".]
