St Faith's and Aylsham Rural Districts were adjacent rural districts in Norfolk , England from 1894 to 1935.[ 1] [ 2]
They were formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on rural sanitary districts of the same names, and lay to the north of Norwich .
In 1935 some northern parts of Aylsham RD were variously transferred to Walsingham , Erpingham and Smallburgh RDs. The remainder, and the whole of St Faith's RD, were merged to form St Faith's and Aylsham Rural District .[ 3] Changes to the border with Norwich County Borough were made in 1907, 1951 and 1968.
In 1974, the merged district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 , and became part of the Broadland district.
