High Sheriff of Humberside

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The High Sheriff of Humberside was a High Sheriff title which was in existence from 1974 until 1996 in newly invented local goverment administration area of Humberside.^[1] The geographical area it covered was roughly the East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire; with the Local Government Act 1972 the commission decided to switch from the ancient and historic High Sheriff of Yorkshire and High Sheriff of Lincolnshire to smaller covered areas. Humberside was incredibly controversial and unpopular, due to this the area along with the High Sheriff title only existed until 1996.^[1] Since that time it has been split into the new title High Sheriff of the East Riding of Yorkshire and older title High Sheriff of Lincolnshire.^[1] Below is a list of the sheriffs.^[1]
