Staines Rural District was a rural district of Middlesex in England from 1894 to 1930.
It was created in 1894 replacing the 1875-created Staines rural sanitary district. It co-governed with varying degrees of input from the civil parish councils and functions increasingly came to be carried out by the newly created Middlesex County Council from 1888:
- Ashford
- Cranford
- East Bedfont also known as Bedfont
- Feltham
- Hanworth
- Harlington
- Harmondsworth
- Laleham
- Littleton
- Shepperton
- Stanwell (including until 1990 a very small part of Colnbrook with Poyle).[1]
- Hanworth
It was named after Staines, the urban district of which bordered it to the west, and bordered that of Sunbury to the south-east. Feltham became an independent urban district in 1904 so for the following 26 years the parish of Hanworth was an exclave of the district surrounded by five Urban Districts. The rural district was divided up among existing urban districts in 1930.[2][3] It covered over half of medieval Spelthorne Hundred one of six divisions of the historic county Middlesex.
