Notes
Due to fire in the Town Clerks Office, a number of records were lost and this is the reason that there are some spaces.
* indicates the two Sheriffs who, in 1669, responded to an order of 'Hall' made on the 1st of October that year. Two silver maces were procured for their offices, each valued at £10. Subsequent Sheriffs were to repay the cost, except for 10 shillings, until the full amount was reimbursed to the chamberlains. These two maces are the ones carried by the Sheriff's attendants.
** indicates the change from two Sheriffs to one, resulting from the Municipal Corporation Act of 1835. In 1834, Charles Leavers and John Birkhead had been appointed Sheriff's and would, before the act, have expected to hold office until the beginning of the first quarter of 1835 but with the change coming in the latter part of this year, they were allowed to hold office until the 1st January 1836 which was the first meeting of the newly established Town Council of the Borough of Nottingham; at this meeting Henry Moses Wood became the Sheriff for the new Borough of Nottingham.
The first female to hold the office for the Sheriff of Nottingham was Councillor Mrs C M Harper, 1931 to 1932.
These notes were compiled by Honorary Alderman Frank Dennett MBE.
