2017-8 Sheriffs: Alderman Tim Hailes (left) and Neil Redcliffe (right) with Lord Mayor Dr Andrew Parlmey (centre)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The title of Sheriff, or “Shire Reeve”, evolved during the Anglo-Saxon period of English history; the Reeve was the representative of the King in a city, town or shire, responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing the law. By the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 the City of London had Sheriffs, usually two at a time; they were the most important city officials and collected London’s annual taxes on behalf of the Royal Exchequer, and they also had judicial duties in the City’s law courts.<\/p>\n

Until 1130, the sheriffs were directly appointed by the King; however, London gained a degree of self-government during the 12th century, including the right to choose its own Sheriffs, a right which was affirmed in a charter by King Stephen in 1141.<\/p>\n

Much has changed since then and now all Liverymen of the City of London have the opportunity to choose their Sheriffs, and they cast two votes at Common Hall on Midsummer’s Day each year. One candidate is nominated by the Court of Aldermen and for 2017-18 they nominated Alderman Timothy Hailes. The second candidate need not be an Alderman. The election will take place in late June at Common Hall, Guildhall, where the liverymen meet.<\/p>\n

  • liaise with the Livery<\/li>\n
  • advise the Livery on the activities of the Mayoralty and update the Livery on progress in key areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
