Rudston is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated between Driffield and Bridlington approximately {{Convert|6|mi|km}} to the west of Bridlington, and lies on the B1253 road. The Gypsey Race (an intermittent stream) runs through the village, which lies in the Great Wold Valley. There are a number of Neolithic sites associated with the stream and its valley. It is the current Seat of the Clan Macdonald of Sleat.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

According to the 2011 UK census, Rudston parish had a population of 409,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 390.[2]

History

The place-name 'Rudston' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, and means 'rood'

or 'cross' stone, referring to the monolith.[3] However, the name 'rud' derives from Old Norse ruð, meaning a clearing or pasture. So the place name could be stone in the clearing, Ruðstane. Nearby Howes of Duggleby and Ba'l (In Ugaritic mythology Baal is the lord of the storm; he bears a mace where Thor will grasp a hammer) also indicate Norse Viking place names rather than Anglo-Saxon origins.

Ancient remains

The Rudston Monolith stands in the parish churchyard. At over {{convert|25|ft|m}} tall, it is the tallest standing stone in England, and gave the village its name; it is Grade I listed.[4][5]

Rudston is the centre of an unparalleled grouping of four Neolithic cursus monuments: cursus A,[6] cursus B,[7] cursus C[8] and cursus D.[9] At least one end of each cursus rests on an elevated chalk ridge on the sides of the Great Wold Valley. Cursuses A and C cross the Gypsey Race, whilst the other ends of cursuses B and D probably lie under the village.

Rudston Roman villa, noted for its mosaics, was first excavated in 1839. It was subsequently re-excavated in the 1930s, 1960s and 1970s.[10][11] The mosaics are now in the Hull and East Riding Museum.[12]

Parish church

Rudston Grade I listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to All Saints.[13] Of 14th-century origin, it was restored in 1861 by George Fowler Jones.[14] It contains the gigantic organ, originally of four manuals, given by Sir Alexander McDonald of the Isles. Now a 3 manual instrument, it stands at the west end of the church in the original case.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} The author Winifred Holtby was born in Rudston and is buried in the church graveyard.[15] Since September 2014, the North Aisle of the church has a small heritage area including a 3D map of the village with sites of interest noted and a set of information boards about the history of the village.[16]

Thorpe Hall to the east of the village was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1952 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[17]
