Marlborough and Ramsbury Rural District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
51°25′12″N 1°43′48″W / 51.420°N 1.730°W Marlborough and Ramsbury was a rural district in Wiltshire, England from 1935 to 1974.
It was formed by a County Review Order in 1935 as a merger of the Marlborough Rural District and the Ramsbury Rural District.[1] It entirely surrounded the municipal borough of Marlborough.
In 1974, it was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming part of the new Kennet district.
In 1945 the council bought a large Georgian house called Axholme House at 47 London Road in Marlborough and converted it to become its headquarters. The council remained based there until its abolition in 1974.[2][3]
