Warwick Rural District was a rural district of Warwickshire, England. It was created in 1894, and covered an area around, but not including, Warwick. It expanded in 1932 with the abolition of Foleshill Rural District and Solihull Rural District.
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, merging with Warwick, Leamington Spa, and Kenilworth to form the modern non-metropolitan district of Warwick.
Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or district:
“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
