East Westmorland Rural District

East Westmorland was the name of a rural district in the administrative county of Westmorland from 1894 to 1935. The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 based on the former East Ward rural sanitary district, and therefore indirectly on the former East Ward of Westmorland.

The district entirely surrounded the municipal borough of Appleby, situated in the north-west of the district. Settlements in the district included Kirkby Stephen and Brough under Stainmore.

In 1935, under a County Review Order, it became part of the North Westmorland Rural District.

Famous quotes containing the words east, rural and/or district:

    Though all the East did quake to hear
    Of Alexander’s dreadful name,
    And all the West likewise did fear
    To hear of Julius Caesar’s fame,

    We realize that we are laggards from the past century, still living in what Marx kindly calls ‘the idiocy of rural life,’ and we know that our rural life is like that of the past, not like that of much of the present.
    —For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
