Hi Rob,

Sorry, it was late. The 1 inch maps don't explicitly show rural district
boundaries (though they do show the individual parishes) nor do they name
the areas, so might be of limited use to you. The nearest in date 6 or 25
inch map should be your best bet (the boundaries didn't change much in the
30s-50s). Again, many of these can be found scanned on the NLS website.
Available under a non-commercial use CC licence so might be an issue for
your non-osm purpose. (osm has explicit permission).

Small scale overview maps of administrative divisions can be on a
county-by-county basis under the 'boundary maps' tab on
http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/ (licence is cc-by-sa 4.0).
