Ketton was a rural district in Rutland, England from 1894 to 1974, covering the east of the county. The district was named after Ketton. The rural district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 from the part of the Stamford rural sanitary district in Rutland. At the same time, the remainder of Stamford RSD, which lay in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and the Soke of Peterborough became Uffington Rural District, Easton on the Hill Rural District and Barnack Rural District respectively.〔F A Youngs Jr., ''Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England, Vol II: Northern England'', London, 1991〕 The rural district council's offices remained in Stamford, Lincolnshire, outside the district. In 1960 the Local Government Commission for England proposed the abolition of the county of Rutland. The bulk of the county was to become part of Leicestershire, with Ketton RD transferred to a greatly enlarged Cambridgeshire.〔''Mergers Of Midland Counties Proposed: Rutland And Huntingdonshire Would Lose Independence'', The Times, 2 March 1960〕 The plans were not carried through, however and it was not until 1974 that the rural district was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 and merged into a single Rutland district. ==Parishes== The rural district consisted of nine civil parishes:〔 *Clipsham *Essendine *Great Casterton *Ketton *Little Casterton *Pickworth *Ryhall *Tinwell *Tixover 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ketton Rural District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
