CLUN AND BISHOP'S CASTLE RURAL DISTRICT

'Clun and Bishop's Castle' was a rural district in Shropshire, England from 1894 to 1974.
It was created by the Local Government Act 1894 as the 'Clun Rural District', based on the Clun rural sanitary district. It was enlarged in 1934 under a County Review Order by taking in the disbanded Chirbury Rural District and Teme Rural District. [1]
1966 saw the district renamed 'Clun and Bishop's Castle', and take in Bishop's Castle, previously a municipal borough, as a rural borough/civil parish.[2]
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, and was merged to form part of the South Shropshire district. [3]
