Bruisyard is a village on the River Alde in the county of Suffolk, England.
St Peter's church
The village church dates back at least to Saxon times, and is an example of a round-tower church, rare in England as a whole, but much more common in East Anglia. Pevsner dates the windows in the nave and south chapel to the early 16th century.
Bruisyard Hall
The Manor House of Rokes Hall converted in 1364 to the Abbey of the Poor Clares. The Nunnery was dissolved in 1539 by Henry VIII. An Elizabethan Manor House was built on the site incorporating some of the older building.
