Crowmarsh Rural District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crowmarsh was a rural district in Oxfordshire, England from 1894 to 1932.

The district was abolished in 1932 under a County Review Order, being split between the existing Henley Rural District and the new Bullingdon Rural District. Since 1974 the entire area has been part of the district of South Oxfordshire, which also includes Wallingford and district.^[1]
