  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThe County of Hertfordshire was divided into five coroners' districts by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. Two of these, Watford and St Albans were amalgamated to form the Watford/St Albans Coroner’s District by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) (Amendment) Order 1974. This district was then amalgamated with Hemel Hempstead, to form the West Hertfordshire Coroner’s District, by the Hertfordshire (Coroner’s Districts) (Amendment) Order 1998.\nThis Order replaces the two coroners' districts of Hitchin and West Hertfordshire by the district of West and North Hertfordshire (as set out in the Schedule to this Order). The Schedule also sets out the remaining district (Hertford Coroner’s District) of the two districts into which the County of Hertfordshire is now divided.",
