St Margaret's was built in 1796 by Lord Suffield of Gunton Park replacing an earlier medieval church on the same site. This is the only 18th-century Gothic revival church in rural Norfolk, as this type of church is very rare in England. It was built by architect Mr Wood. St Margaret's is his only known building. The church is open every day and has a beautiful conservation churchyard.
St Marys church is located in Roughton, a Norfolk village on the A140 about 4 miles south of Cromer. It is pronounced “Rowton”.
