Title

ROTHER DISTRICT COUNCIL

Date

1737-1975

Description

This collection comprises records of those predecessors to Rother District Council, and of late-19th-century Highway Boards, Rural Sanitary Authorities and Parish Meetings which they had absorbed. There are also some 18th and 19th-century overseers' and churchwardens' records from the parishes of Battle and Bexhill. One class only is of records created since 1974 by Rother District Council, but more recent records will accrue to this collection

Arrangement

The catalogue is arranged by the (1974) departments of Rother District Council which have deposited records, with records deposited prior to 1974 being attributed to the department which would most likely have otherwise inherited them. The departments are:

DR/A Planning Department (19 series)

DR/B Secretary's Department (120 series)

DR/C Environmental Health Department (10 series)

DR/D Treasurer's Department (130 series)

Custodial history

The records which were deposited, in or before 1974, by the predecessor authorities were initially organised in the Record Office in collections for each of those authorities and each of the authorities is abolished in 1934. In 2003 they were assimilated into the collection of records deposited from 1974 onwards by Rother District Council. The former references are given at file level.

Concordance of old and new references for records relisted in 2003 and, in a few cases, at earlier dates

Administrative / biographical background

Rother District Council was established in 1974, upon the abolition of Battle Rural District Council and Bexhill and Rye Borough Councils. Battle RDC had been enlarged in 1934 by absorbing other authorities which had been created in 1894, namely Battle Urban District Council and Hastings, Rye and Ticehurst RDC, except for some parts which were transferred to Hastings County Borough and to Uckfield RDC.
