Description
Rougham Hall is a house that originally served as a service wing for Hon. Roger North's house, which was built around 1690 and is now demolished. The building has additions from 1878, 1906, and later, but these are not considered of special interest except for the repositioned staircase and panelling. The original wing is constructed of flint and brick and features a pantiled roof. It has two storeys with an attic and a varied arrangement of windows, including one 18th or 19th century five-light casement window with a transom beneath a segmental arch, one possibly late 17th century two-light mullion and transom window with some leaded lights, one sash window with glazing bars, and several two-light casements. There is also a large off-centre axial stack.
Inside, there is a very fine staircase from around 1700, which was brought from Finborough Hall in Suffolk in 1878. This staircase has an open string with turned balusters featuring carved leaf decoration, a swept handrail, and unusual carved tread ends. The hall and dining room contain some re-set oak panelling, and in the hall, there is a fluted frieze and carved arms with the motto "Durum Pati," dated 1569. The building is primarily included for its staircase.
