Description
Rougham War Memorial is situated in the northern part of the churchyard of the Church of St Mary, which is a Grade I-listed building. The memorial features a two-stepped base topped by a plinth, from which a tall wheel-head cross rises. A small stone flower vase is set into the lower step of the base on the south side. The memorial is placed on a square, paved apron and is enclosed by oak posts connected with chains.
The inscriptions on the memorial are incised into the stone and painted. The dedication for the First World War is on the north face of the plinth, stating: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY OF THE MEN OF ROUGHAM WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1919" followed by 27 names. The dedication for the Second World War is on the south face of the plinth, reading "1939 – 1945" followed by 5 names.
