In the Domesday account the village is written as “Roreston”, and in 1066 and 1086 lordship of the manor was held by the Canons of Church of St John, Beverley.[1][2]

Evidence of Medieval occupation has been recorded in the village though observations of earthworks, indicating ridge and furrow field systems, enclosures and a hollow way.[3] 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.[4]

Ruston Parva's Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Nicholas.[5] 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.[6]

Leeds based band Kaiser Chiefs originally named themselves Runston Parva after the East Riding of Yorkshire village.[7]
