Bagshot Rural District was a rural district in the administrative county of Surrey, England from 1933 to 1974, covering an area in the north-west of the county.
History
The district was created in 1933 from the former Windlesham Urban District and part of the Chertsey Rural District, which were both abolished. The new district was named after the village of Bagshot in the parish of Windlesham, which also had the district's only railway station.[1][2]
The district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, merging with neighbouring Frimley and Camberley Urban District to become Surrey Heath on 1 April 1974.[3][4]
Parishes
When created the district contained the three civil parishes of Bisley, Chobham and Windlesham. A fourth parish of West End was created from part of Chobham parish in 1968.[1]
Premises
