| Administrative history | Parish councils were established by the Local Government Act 1894 which specified that there should be a parish meeting for every rural parish and a parish council for every parish with a population of over 300. Provision was also made for parish councils in parishes with smaller populations to be established by special order of the County Council.
N.B. From 1970 this Parish Council covered as Grantley, Sawley, Eavestone and Skelding. |
