High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire

Summary

This is a list of sheriffs and since 1974 high sheriffs of Cambridgeshire.

The Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the 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. Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974 the office previously known as Sheriff was retitled High Sheriff.

Before 1154 edit

From 1154 until 1635, appointees to the shrievalty held the joint office of Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire.

1636–1641 edit

From 1642 until 1965, appointees to the shrievalty held the joint office of Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. From 1965 until 1974, sheriffs were Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely.
