  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThe county of Cornwall was divided into four coroners' districts by the Cornwall (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. The amalgamation of two of these coroners' districts into a single new coroner’s district by the Cornwall (Coroners' Districts) (Amendment) Order 1991 (“the 1991 Order”) reduced the total number of coroners' districts in Cornwall to three.\nThis Order amalgamates the two coroners' districts unaffected by the 1991 Order to create a single new coroner’s district for the districts of Carrick, Kerrier and Penwith, named the West Cornwall coroner’s district. The new coroner’s district created by the 1991 Order is by this Order renamed the East Cornwall coroner’s district. The county of Cornwall is accordingly now divided between the new West Cornwall coroner’s district and the renamed East Cornwall coroner’s district.",
