Plomesgate Rural District


Plomesgate Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Plomesgate rural sanitary district.
In 1900 a new Saxmundham Urban District was created out of Saxmundham parish.
In 1934, under a County Review Order, Plomesgate Rural District was abolished and its parishes transferred to the new Blyth and Deben RDs. The detached parish of Kenton became part of Hartismere RD, and part of Hazlewood parish was given to the Borough of Aldeburgh.
