Ruston Parva is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, eight miles south-west of Bridlington and just north of the A614.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village is written as Roreston, and the lordship of the manor was held by the Canons of the Church of St John, Beverley.[1]
Evidence of mediæval occupation has been recorded in the village though observations of earthworks, indicating ridge and furrow field systems, enclosures and a hollow way. In 1968, ditch remains of a moat were observed at the south of the village. The moat may have been part of Upper House manor house.
Parish church
Ruston Parva's parish church, St Nicholas, is a Grade II* listed building.[2] It was built in Norman style in 1832 from ashlar and yellow brick, and has a tower supported inside by cast iron pillars. Its two deck pulpit and box pews also probably date from 1832.[3]
