Ruston is a small village in the former Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England, forming part of the civil parish of Wykeham.[1] The village is situated just off the A170 road, and approximately 7miles south-west from Scarborough.[2] [3] Ruston is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having ploughlands and woodlands, though the derivation of the name is unknown; it could possibly stem from Hrōst, which is Old English for roof-beam.[4] [5]
