Markyate Rural District
History of Hertfordshire
About
Markyate Rural District was a short-lived rural district in Hertfordshire, England from 1894 to 1897, on the borders with Bedfordshire.
The district was created under the Local Government Act 1894 from the parts of the Luton Rural Sanitary District which were within Hertfordshire. The rest of the Luton Rural Sanitary District became the Luton Rural District. Prior to the 1894 Act the parishes of Caddington and Studham had both straddled the county boundary, and they were each split into separate parishes for the parts in each county, with the Caddington (Hertfordshire) and Studham (Hertfordshire) parishes being included in the Markyate Rural District.
