Barton Regis was, from 1894 to 1904, a rural district in the English administrative county of Gloucestershire, adjacent to the City of Bristol.[1]
The rural district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 as successor to the Barton Regis Rural Sanitary District,[1] which had taken its name from the ancient hundred of Barton Regis, albeit with quite different boundaries. A directly elected rural district council (RDC) replaced the rural sanitary authority consisting of the poor law guardians for the area. The RDC was based in the offices of the poor law guardians in the Eastville area of Bristol.[2]
