Samford Rural District

Samford Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1974. It was created out of the earlier Samford rural sanitary district.[1] It was named after the historic hundred of Samford, whose boundaries it closely matched, containing the same parishes.
