Guiding the vision: The Rougham Estate Trustees

The Rougham Estate Trustees are the stewards of this historic landscape, entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the Trust’s mission and ensuring its long-term success.

Comprising a dedicated group of individuals with a passion for conservation, history, and community engagement, the Trustees bring a wealth of experience and expertise to their roles.

These individuals work tirelessly to oversee the Estate’s operations, make strategic decisions regarding its management and development, and ensure that the Trust’s objectives are met.

They actively collaborate with local communities, partner organisations, and the wider community to foster a sense of shared ownership and responsibility for the Estate’s future. Their commitment to transparency and good governance ensures that the Rougham Estate Trust remains a beacon of excellence in preserving heritage and enriching lives for generations to come.
