The parish of East Ruston lies in northeastern Norfolk
not far from the North Sea coast but firmly within Broadland. The parish
sits on the eastern bank of one of Broadlands rivers the River Ant and
is roughly 4 miles southeast of the market town of North Walsham. Settlement
in the parish is dominated by the cluster grouped along a north-south
running lane parallel to the course of the Ant. The parish is fairly low
lying with much land in the flood plain of the river although drier land
much used for arable agriculture rises in the east of the parish. The
parish is barely 3 miles from the east coast and this coast is eroding
rapidly due to the light glacial geology. |

| Two standard 800-entry registers cover the period of the transcript. The first runs until 1857 whilst the second runs until the late 20th century. The registers were deposited and filmed in two separate depositions, the first register is filmed on Microfiche 8 & 9 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office, these fiche are rather elderly and suffer the quality issues of the period in which they were filmed often rather vaguely focussed and lacking clarity generally thus making for a tricky piece to transcribe. The second register is filmed on Microfilm MFRO694 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office, although the register is classed as unfit for production the images are adequate to the task being filmed using more up to date techniques as a result this period as rather easier to transcribe. Overall the standard of images could best be described as adequate rather than good and it is not impossible that misreads may have occurred despite best efforts to avoid that possibility. |
