Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised the local service district of the parish of Havelock,[3] which further included the western part of the service area of Havelock Inside.[a] The local service district was a member of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8).[4]

Origin of name

edit

The parish was named in honour of Henry Havelock, commander of British forces at the Siege of Lucknow in 1857, who died shortly after the siege was lifted.[5]

History

edit

Havelock was erected in 1859 from the eastern polling district of Studholm Parish.[6]

In 1871 part of Havelock along Windgap Brook was returned to Studholm.[7]
