New Radnor was, from 1894 to 1974, a rural district in the administrative county of Radnorshire, Wales.
The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894, when the existing Kington Rural Sanitary District was divided into two: the section in Herefordshire was reconstituted as Kington Rural District, while the section in Radnorshire became New Radnor Rural District.[1] The new district took its name from the village of New Radnor, at one time a borough and county town of Radnorshire. The council continued to be based in Kington in Herefordshire.[2]
The rural district comprised fifteen civil parishes:[3]
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, which completely reorganised local administration in England and Wales. Its area became part of the District of Radnor in the new county of Powys.
