Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Old graves in St Andrew's churchyard. The ruined church of St Andrew > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1701480 is situated beside Roudham Road, overlooking the traces of earthworks of the medieval village of Roudham that are still discernable to the north-west. The church fell into ruin after a thatcher inadvertently set fire to the roof with hot ash from his pipe in 1736. Pigeons are resting high up on the tower walls and the churchyard is still used for burials. Many villagers of medieval Roudham died during the Black Death and population numbers dwindled by 27 % from 1334 to 1449. The village was finally extinguished by engrossment in the 18th century and all that remains today is Roudham Farm > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1699669 and a handful of cottages > 1701457 - some ex-railway. The Norwich to Ely railway line passes a short distance further to the north. Remote and with no road access, the former railway station at Roudham Junction was closed in 1932. |
