Origins of the High Sheriff
The Office of High Sheriff is the oldest secular Office in the UK after the Crown. It dates back over 1,000 years to Saxon times, emerging when Shires were first formed. The title “Sheriff” comes from “Shire Reeve” or the Anglo-Saxon “Scir-gerefa,” meaning the King’s local representative.
