Wainford Rural District was a rural district in the administrative county of East Suffolk, England and in the historic county of Suffolk. It was created in 1934 from the disbanded Wangford Rural District and the northern part of Blything Rural District. Part of the Urban District of Halesworth was also transferred to the new rural district.

Since 1 April 1974 it has formed part of the District or Borough of Waveney. On the same date the administrative county of East Suffolk was abolished.

Research tips

  • A map of Suffolk from 1900 provided online by A Vision of Britain Through Time (University of Portsmouth Department of Geography) can be enlarged to view individual parishes. Careful inspection will usually lead to the discovery of smaller hamlets founded before 1900. The rural districts (marked with their names printed in blue) are those in existence in 1900, not those introduced in 1934. The more ancient hundreds are marked in red. Most (but not all) parish names are underlined in red.
