William Rougham (undated - 1393) was the second master of Gonville Hall, Cambridge (later Gonville and Caius College) from c. 1360. He had been a fellow of the college since the 1350s and was Bachelor of Medicine by 1366. He was also a priest with livings in the Diocese of Norwich and was personal physician to Henry le Despenser, Bishop of Norwich.[2]
Rougham's biggest contribution to the college was the completion of the chapel in 1353[3] which stood as he had left it for 250 years. The east window and one of the side windows contained, according to John Caius, an inscription reading:[1]
Orate pro anima Willm' de Rougham qui fecit istam capellam fieri.
