Wangford Rural District


Wangford Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Wangford rural sanitary district. It contained the group of small villages collectively known as The Saints.
In 1910 a new urban district of Bungay was created out of a part of the northern side of the district.
In 1934, under a County Review Order, Wangford Rural District was abolished and its parishes transferred to the new Wainford Rural District. In 1974 the area became part of Waveney district.
