List of Lord Mayors of York

This is a list of Mayors and the later Lord Mayors of the city of York.

Wall plaque in Holy Trinity Church commemorating past Lord Mayors Thomas Mosley 1687, Robert Fairfax 1715, James Rowe 1749 & 1768 and Richard Garland 1767

In 1212 King John granted York the right to collect its own taxes, hold courts and conduct its own affairs and thereby the right to elect a Mayor. These rights were temporarily forfeited in 1280–1282 for altering a royal charter, in 1292–1297 for failing to pay taxes and in 1405–1406 for supporting Archbishop Richard Scrope. In 1389 King Richard II elevated the Mayor to the status of Lord Mayor and supposedly gave his sword to be carried point upwards before him.
