Norwich: Mayors, Lord Mayors and Sheriffs, 1835-2010

This is based on a list for 1835 to 1990 from Marianne Philson, of Auckland, New Zealand (Feb 1993). It has been extended by the addition of forenames and extra dates (and with some minor corrections), and by the lord mayors and sheriffs for 1991 to 2010 which have been provided by Nick Williams.

The office of Mayor became Lord Mayor in 1910, and the year of office was from November to November until 1948, when it was changed to be from May to May.

The mayors and sheriffs are shown alphabetically by surname, and then by year of office.
