Village Highlights

THE VILLAGE HALL

The Hall, opened in 1925, was funded by Sir James Roll, who attended East Ruston Primary School and grew up to be Lord Mayor of London. It was built to provide a meeting place for the village and our nearbyt communities.

The hall provides a unique and cost effective venue for a number of popular events such as table tennis and art groups, community events such as Seedy Sunday, The Christmas Bazaar, a monthly Church service and private functions such as children’s parties and weddings.

EAST RUSTON INFANT SCHOOL

A small rural school for children aged between 2 and 7 years old.

Our school has a very good local reputation. We provide an active and stimulating curriculum. We have a high adult to child ratio to enable all children to achieve the highest standards of learning.

We offer a range of activities for pre-school children.

Our school has a healthy environmentlaly friendly ethos where children receive an education that celebrates all the best aspects of childhood; being curious and creative, learning about nature outdoors, being friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. We believe that children who are happy, secure and enjoy school will develop a love of learning that will extend through their lives.

THE OLD VICARAGE GARDEN

Alan Gray and Graham Robeson designed this lovely garden at East Ruston Old Vicarage without any assistance.

Despite the exposed position of the Old Vicarage Garden in Norfolk, the garden benefits from the proximity of the North Sea which ameliorates the cold northerly and easterly winds and periods of frost are shorter and less severe than those experienced inland. The soil is a good quality light loam and free-draining. This, combined with the low rainfall and milder winters than gardens further inland, enables them to grow a much wider range of half-hardy plants, giving the garden its exotic atmosphere.

This garden is one of our must visit gardens!
