Although the detailed connection is not known, the name Ruses (like the Roos Farm in Wimbish) is related to the de Roos family, which held large estates in East Anglia from the 13th century.
The house and lands of Ruses Farm formed part of the estate that was gifted to the Church Army in 1905 and subsequently sold in 1951.
