Sheriff of Caernarvonshire

Last updated

This is a list of Sheriffs of Caernarvonshire (or Carnarvonshire).

Contents

The Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in a county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. The Sheriff changes every March.

On 1 April 1974, under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, the counties of Caernarvonshire, together with that of Anglesey and Merionethshire were abolished along with their shrievalties, and were replaced by the new county of Gwynedd and the new office of High Sheriff of Gwynedd. [1]

  5. The dates in the Williams 1895 , p. 74 are inconsistent "9 Oct. 1649–50, and 13 Feb. 1650" usually dates before 25 March are styled 1649–50 in this period (see Old Style and New Style dates), so it may be that he was Sheriff from 13 February 1649 to October 1649 or 1650. All that can be said with certainty from this source is that he was a Sheriff in 1649 and maybe also in 1650.
