Past Sheriffs

We hold a complete record of the year and name of every individual who has had the honour of serving Gloucester as Sheriff.

Since the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 the names have been recorded in the pages of the bible currently held in the Mayor's Parlour.

The board opposite was commissioned and funded by the City of Gloucester Sheriff's Association.

A continuation board of the same design has also been commissioned.
