More about this scene

The village of Rushton is mentioned as Riston or Risetone in the Domesday Book. Many of the houses here are built of the familiar ironstone of the oolitic limestone belt, which stretches all the way from South Yorkshire to Dorset. Rushton is a sprawling, scattered community, as this photograph reveals.
