33. ^ The majority of the former Rickmansworth Urban District became part of the new parish of Batchworth in 2017, but there are two discrete parcels of the former urban district which did not join Batchworth and therefore remain unparished areas. The larger unparished area covers the area around Maple Cross and Mill End, whilst the smaller unparished area covers parts of Loudwater.
