From the Wikipedia article
Knighton was a rural district in the administrative county of Radnorshire, Wales from 1894 till 1974. The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894, when the existing Knighton Rural Sanitary District was divided into three: the section in Herefordshire was reconstituted as Wigmore Rural District, that in Shropshire as Teme Rural District, while the remaining section in Radnorshire became Knighton Rural District. The rural district council was based in the town of Knighton which was a separate urban district. The rural district comprised seventeen civil parishes: Beguildy Bleddfa Cascob Discoed Heyope Knighton Litton and Cascob Llananno Llanbadarn Fynydd Llanbister Llanddewi Ystradenny Llanfihangel Rhydithon Llangunllo Norton Pilleth Stanage Whitton The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, which completely reorganised local administration in England and Wales. Its area became part of the District of Radnor in the new county of Powys.
