Civil Parishes
Over its existence the rural district consisted of the following civil parishes:
- Arkley (formed from the rural part of the parish of Chipping Barnet in 1894)
- Elstree
- Ridge
- Shenley
- Totteridge
Totteridge constituted an exclave. Arkley became part of the Barnet Urban District in 1905, and was joined there by Totteridge in 1914.

Famous quotes containing the word civil:
“Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to man’s yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
