Wycombe Rural District
Wycombe Rural District was, from 1894 to 1974, a rural district in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England. Origins The district had its origins in the Wycombe Poor Law Union, which had been created in 1835, covering High Wycombe and several surrounding parishes. In 1872 sanitary districts were established, giving public health and local government responsibilities for rural areas to the existing boards of guardians of poor law unions. The Wycombe Rural Sanitary District therefore covered the area of the poor law union except for the town of High Wycombe, which was a municipal borough (officially called Chepping Wycombe until 1946) and so became its own urban sanitary district. The Wycombe Rural Sanitary District was administered from Wycombe Union Workhouse, which had been built in 1843 in open countryside in the parish of Saunderton, nearly five miles north-west of High Wycombe. Under the Local Government Act 1894, rural sanitary districts became rural distric ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
