THE ESTATE
Nestled in Suffolk, the Estate’s enduring appeal is created by blending history, nature and sustainable practices with family-friendly events.
A Suffolk Country Estate
Rougham Estate, located a few miles from Bury St Edmunds, is a rural haven epitomising the timeless charm and natural beauty of East Anglia.
It boasts a rich history dating back through the ages to Roman times. The Estate’s centrepiece, Rougham Hall, although ruined, stands as a testament to its heritage, with the Blackthorpe Barn and the WWII airfield control tower adding unique historical interest.
Besides the fascinating history, the Estate takes its rural responsibilities seriously, ensuring a harmonious balance in its natural surroundings complemented by sustainable forestry and wildlife management. The working farm contributes to the agricultural legacy, while dedicated conservation efforts underscore the commitment to preserving the Estate’s ecological diversity.
Our Awards
ROUGHAM ESTATE TRUST
The Rougham Estate Trust was established by George Agnew and his late brother John, to safeguard the Estate into the future. Committed to maintaining the Estate’s environment and landscape for the benefit of the public, the Trust also supports cultural and educational initiatives by inspiring young local musicians and preserving the history of the area.

🌻Sunflower update! The flowers are growing daily and we’re keeping a very close eye on them, but we haven’t had the rain they need so they are still small and will not be flowering for a while yet.
📆We’ve moved the opening date for the field from very early August to early/mid August (we’ve pencilled in the 8th as the opening at the moment but this may yet change).
We can’t wait to welcome you to a field of gold … but we all have to be patient for a little while longer and keep hoping for some good rain. Nature takes the time she needs 🌱
Stay tuned for further updates 🌻😃👍

Harvest update…
The Winter Barley is in the shed, and now it`s time for the Winter Oilseed Rape. Remember its bright yellow bloom from May?
It’s now ripe and ready for harvest.
Once harvested, the seeds will be crushed to extract oil, which will be bottled and sold in local supermarkets for your cooking needs.
Exciting work ahead as we continue the harvest season.
