Atherstone Rural District


Atherstone was a rural district in the administrative county of Warwickshire, England, from 1894 to 1974. It was named after its main town and administrative headquarters of Atherstone.
Over the years the district gained territory on the abolition of neighbouring rural districts. In 1932 it gained part of Nuneaton Rural District and in 1965 it gained most of Tamworth Rural District.
As with all rural districts, Atherstone RD was abolished in 1974 and was merged with part of the Meriden Rural District to form the new non-metropolitan district of North Warwickshire.
