Buildings of note

The local Church is Saint Mary's, a perpendicular church dating from the 14th century, that was partly rebuilt in 1913. It contains a number of monuments to the Yelverton family.[3]

Rougham Hall is a Grade II listed manor house, a largely 19th-century building on the site of the former Jacobean manor. During its restoration in 1878 it had added to it a staircase dated from circa 1700 taken from Finborough Hall, in Suffolk.[4] It is the ancestral home of the North family, descendants of Dudley North, 4th Baron North, and his son, the lawyer Roger North. The latter set up a parochial library at Rougham which contained the books and manuscripts of his late niece, the orientalist and linguist Dudleya North.

Toponymy

The name "Rougham" is derived from the old English Ruhham, with ruh probably meaning rough ground, and ham, meaning village.[5]
