Wolborough

Wolborough is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Newton Abbot, in the Teignbridge district, in the county of Devon, England.

Today the village forms a southern suburb of the town of Newton Abbot.

[1][2] The parish of Wolborough historically included the town of Newton Abbot.

As a parish in an urban district Wolborough was classed as an urban parish and so was not given a parish council, instead being directly administered by Newton Abbot Urban District Council.

The civil parish of Wolborough was eventually abolished on 1 April 1974 when the three parishes within Newton Abbot Urban District (Wolborough, Highweek and Milber) were united as a single parish called Newton Abbot within the new Teignbridge district.
