Seen best during the day...

Great location, overlooking the green and the large village pond.

Tucked away down a little lane by the side of the church, but worth finding.

grave of Thomas Keppel North, who was the managing director of the Vickers-Armstrong factory in Kent. He designed the first plane to cross the Atlantic, with most of the navigation instruments having been made by Mr North himself. Late in the First World War, the British rushed into production a twin-engined heavy bomber with which they hoped to pound enemy fortifications at the front and German factories behind the Rhine. In 1913 the London Daily Mail had offered a 10,000-pound prize for the first successful non-stop flight across Atlantic Ocean. At the end of World War I the prize remained unclaimed. Then, late in the afternoon of June 14, 1919, a Vickers Vimy IV took off from St. John's, Newfoundland, and headed eastward across the Atlantic. The Vimy lumbered along between sea level and 12,000 feet at an average speed of about 118 miles per hour. Finally at 8:40 the following morning, Alcock and Brown sighted the wireless station at Clifden, Ireland, landing in a bog.

Great stop for nice coffee and food. Cyclist friendly too.

Once home to an old pump and an even older piano - now only the pump remains.... a wonderful spot to stop and have lunch, coffee from your flask or just shelter from the sun or rain. Rougham is a lovely village with some curios for the incurably curious or those with an artistic eye... I was just lazy and sat there and soaked it all in.

The faded inscription reads: "From Blackwater Carr to Seagate Since the plough first broke the bread of land Pightles and pieces plots & pastures To every man his stony acre (A pightle is an old Norfolk & Suffolk word for a small enclosure of land, derived from pig-tail.)"

Upmarket pub, shop and six ponds
