Rougham hall was extended using bricks around 1878. It is believed that the bricks were made in this kiln. It is also thought that the kiln stopped work in the early 1900s after the house was extended again in 1906. It is likely that the kiln was built specifically for providing bricks for the house, and it is likely that is was only used for this purpose.
