Marston Sicca was, from 1894 to 1931, a rural district in the administrative county of Gloucestershire, England.[1][2] The district formed part of a salient of Gloucestershire nearly surrounded by Warwickshire and Worcestershire. In 1931 the boundaries of the three counties were adjusted. The rural district was abolished and its area transferred to Warwickshire.[1]
The rural district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 from the part of Stratford on Avon Rural Sanitary District in Gloucestershire. The remainder of Stratford RSD became Stratford-on-Avon Rural District in Warwickshire. The rural district was governed by a directly elected rural district council (RDC), which replaced the rural sanitary authority that had comprised the poor law guardians for the area. Marston Sicca RDC continued to hold its meetings in the offices of Stratford Poor Law Union, outside the district.[3]
