# The Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The County of Hertfordshire was divided into five coroners' districts by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974. Two of those districts were amalgamated by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts)(Amendment) Order 1974, a third by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts)(Amendment) Order 1998 which also renamed the coroner’s district created in 1974. The resulting district was then amalgamated with a fourth district in 2002 by the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 2002 which revoked the Hertfordshire (Coroners' Districts) Order 1974 and the 1998 Order, the 1974 amendment order having been previously revoked. The County of Hertfordshire was thus divided into the Hertford coroner’s district and the West and North Hertfordshire coroner’s district.
This Order amalgamates those two districts to create a single coroner’s district. The County of Hertfordshire therefore now comprises a single coroner’s district known as the Hertfordshire coroner’s district.
