Bosmere and Claydon Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Bosmere and Claydon rural sanitary district.[1] It was named after the historic hundred of Bosmere and Claydon, although the rural district covered a significantly larger area than the hundred.
