Earlier Houses: There was an earlier manor house of circa 1688 that was replaced by the current, embattled Tudor-Gothic style house in the early 19th century.
House & Family History: During World War II Rougham Airfield was built nearby, which made the area a target of enemy action. As a result, Rougham Hall was bombed in September of 1940; the House remains a romantic ruin today. The Agnew family, who've owned Rougham since the early 20th century, still live here and farm the 3,000-acre Estate.
