EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential charm of Rougham, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of Norfolk, England. The image, taken in the 1910s, showcases the village well, a hidden gem located on The Street, which once served as the primary water source for the community. The well's wooden roof, intricately designed with decorative patterns, offers protection from the elements, making it a unique and distinctive feature of the village. The well, dedicated to M.N., is a testament to the history and tradition that runs deep in Rougham. Sadly, no further information has been uncovered regarding the identity of M.N. or the reason behind the dedication. The absence of such details only adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this historic site. The photograph transports us back in time to the 19th century, where the simple pleasures of rural life are on full display. The well, surrounded by lush greenery and quaint cottages, is a reminder of the close-knit community that once thrived in this idyllic setting. The image is a beautiful representation of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of Rougham. The photograph, with its warm tones and intricate details, is a treasure trove for historians, researchers, and anyone with an appreciation for the history and charm of rural England. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the stories that come with it, as we continue to learn and grow from the past.
