List of Sheriffs of Gloucestershire

By CHRISTOPHER ELRINGTON†

It is thought that an accessible list in print of all the county’s sheriffs to 2006–7 may be useful. Lists of sheriffs up to 1832 of all the English and Welsh counties and of those cities and boroughs which had sheriffs were published in the List of Sheriffs for and Wales (1898), volume ix in the Public Record Office’sLists and Indexes series. A photographic reprint of that volume, published in 1963, included a number of manuscript addenda and corrigenda which, like the original publication, drew on documents in the Public Record Office. Two centuries earlier Abel Wantner included in his manuscript History of Gloucestershire, now in the Bodleian Library as MS Top. Glouc. c. 3, a list of sheriffs from 1154 to 1712; they are on ff. 264–270, with the sheriffs of 1707–12 on a slip attached to f. 270. An earlier version of his list, in his own hand, is in the associated volume of his notes, MS Top. Glouc. c. 2, ff. 74–83. In the Transactions, vol. 86 (1968), Brian Smith published a list of sheriffs from 1832 to 1967 with an introductory essay on the shrievalty in Gloucestershire, and David J.H. Smith provided a leaflet carrying the list forward to 1991. The list of under-sheriffs given in the Transactions is reprinted below and brought up to date. The information from 1832 on is taken principally from Gloucestershire Archives, Q/RAs. The earlier version of Wantner’s list is exactly matched by the list published some thirty years later by Sir Robert Atkyns in his The Ancient and Present State of Glostershire (1712). The relationship between the two lists is not entirely clear, but it could well be that Wantner made the list in his working papers available to Atkyns. Atkyns’s list is evidently what Samuel Rudder copied for the list included in his New History of Gloucestershire (1779). Wantner’s list, in its second version, cannot be used with much confidence (it omits, presumably by mistake, several names that are in the earlier version), but it does offer some detail, notably in the spelling of surnames, that supplements the List of Sheriffs, and continuing discussion of the value of Wantner’s historical compilation in general is an added reason for including it here. The unreliability of Wantner’s dates, apparent elsewhere in his manuscripts and perhaps arising from a difficulty in translating regnal years into years of grace, seems to be represented in his list of sheriffs. His dating of the sheriffs is limited to the year, presumably that in which he found the to have been in office. His consuming interest in heraldry caused him to include the coat or arms of each sheriff, apparently using his imagination or invention particularly for the earlier sheriffs. That heraldic information is not included here, but it is available in an edited version of Wantner’s ‘History’ that has been deposited in the Society’s library and in Gloucestershire Archives. The list below as far as 1377 gives on the left the information from the PRO List of Sheriffs, with manuscript additions from the reprint of 1963 distinguished by being enclosed in square brackets. The date is either of appointment or of beginning account. The names in italic are those of under- sheriffs. On the right are the date and name from Wantner’s list, taken from the transcription made by John Fendley in 2007, with the forenames translated from the Latin used by Wantner down to 1685. The names of places of residence have been modernised throughout, though surnames taken from place-names retain the spelling of the sources used. The indications of rank have been placed before the places of residence.

207-227 List of Sheriffs.indd 207 08/02/2011 16:27 208 christopher elrington From 1377 to 1712 the significant differences between List of Sheriffs and Wantner’s list are relatively few and it seems wasteful to give the two lists in parallel. Instead, the list here offered gives only the names from List of Sheriffs, noting significant differences in Wantner’s list: minor differences of spelling, differences in date that are less than three years and the omission by Wantner of of rank, of places of residence and of alternative spellings are ignored.

1 The List of Sheriffs gives the dates of the first three sheriffs as ‘Domesday, before Survey’ and ‘Domesday, at time of Survey’. 2 A better spelling of his surname is Pîtres, the name of a place in Eure, Normandy. 3 He is said by Wantner to have been ‘the first high sheriff of the county’.
