Whitchurch Rural District (Shropshire)

Whitchurch was a rural district in Shropshire, England from 1894 to 1934. It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on part of the Whitchurch rural sanitary district. It included the parishes of Ightfield and Whitchurch Rural. The district was abolished in 1934 under a County Review Order. Ightfield went to Drayon Rural District, with Whitchurch Rural being split between the Whitchurch urban district, Wem Rural District and Drayton RD.

Ightfield

Ightfield is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. Within the parish boundaries is another small village - Calverhall.

In fact, the name could indeed be derived from Old English 'Ihtfeld' collocated from 'iht'= creature + 'feld'= field. This would be plausible considering the area's long agricultural history.
