Catalogue Description

Changes in administration leading towards modern structures in the local government system, as we see them today, began before the Local Government Act 1894 came into force. The Representation of the People Act 1832 initiated the whole system of changes in English administration in the 19th Century. Many ancient parishes were turned into new administrative units following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1866. Generally, ecclesiastical parishes were substituted by civil parishes, which became the smallest administrative units. Urban and Rural districts were also introduced in 1894 and, together with Municipal Boroughs which were already in existence, created a middle tier in the administrative system, each comprising several civil parishes. Therefore, at the end of the century, there were three main levels in the local government hierarchy: counties, districts and civil parishes.

Civil parishes at first were organised the way the old poor law union and ecclesiastical parishes were. In most cases, boundaries were identical with ecclesiastical parishes, but with time they changed due to several local government reorganisations.

The 1894 Act introduced elected councils on a parish level, having been established in counties first in 1888. Parishes with a population of over 300 had an obligation to elect a council, and parishes over 200 could decide whether they needed one or not. If they chose not to, then all decisions on their behalf were made by the relevant district council and the same procedure applied to small parishes. Initially, members of the parish council were elected from the local government electors for the parish during the parish annual meeting, but this changed after the Representation of the People Act 1948 came into force, making the election process more clear and transparent.

Parish council functions focus on everyday life of the local community and, as we can see in the records they create, they mainly deal with matters relating to footpaths, village greens, allotments, bus shelters, lighting, libraries and local entertainment and leisure centres. Occasionally they deal with cases of public order disturbances and rural crime. Some look after closed churchyards and manage burial grounds after burial boards were abolished under the 1894 Act.

Ferryhill was a township in Merrington ancient parish before becoming a separate civil parish in 1866. It was included in Sedgefield Poor Law Union and Durham Ward.

Following the main local authority reorganisation in 1894, when urban and rural districts were created, it became part of Sedgefield Rural District.

After local government reorganisation in 1974, Sedgefield RDC was absorbed into Sedgefield Borough Council until 2009, when all the districts within the county were amalgamated with the County Council to create a unitary authority, of which Ferryhill is still part.
