Premises

The district council continued to use the offices it inherited from the two predecessor districts: Bridgefoot House in Buntingford from the Buntingford Rural District, and 2 Hockerill Street in Bishop's Stortford from the Hadham Rural District. Meetings were held alternately at each office.

Abolition

Braughing Rural District was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming part of East Hertfordshire on 1 April 1974.
