High Sheriff of Staffordshire en
This is a list of the High Sheriffs of Staffordshire. The High Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. The Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. The High Sheriff changes every March. From 1204 to 1344 the High Sheriff of Staffordshire also served as High Sheriff of Shropshire. Wikipedia [ - ]
