Rougham Hall: Hidden histories and the mystery of a German bombing

Rougham Hall, stands as a picturesque Tudor Gothic-style ruin. Once a grand estate, it now lies in decay, its history marked by a fateful bombing on September 23, 1940. The hall's past is filled with family tales, lively parties, and unanswered questions about why it was targeted. Today, it remains a private, off-limits site, George Agnew co-owner of the estate and Jane Bennet-Earle share with Matt Marvel some of the stories of this ruin.
