Multi-member Constituencies in England

Article names are followed by (UK Parliament constituency). The constituencies which existed before 1832 were all part of the Parliament of England (from the date indicated until 1707), the Parliament of Great Britain (1707-1800) and the Parliament of the United Kingdom (from 1801).

Due to the lack of survival of records, it is not certain when in the thirteenth century most of the counties and the older boroughs were enfranchised. All the historic counties, except Cheshire and Durham, are deemed to have been enfranchised in 1290 for the purposes of this list. The oldest parliamentary boroughs are deemed to have been enfranchised in 1295, when a contemporary official list is available. However as the 1295 list does not include London it may not be complete.

Many counties and boroughs may have been represented at De Montfort's Parliament of 1265 or other early Parliaments for which no exact records are available. The earliest known Parliament to which knights of the shire (representing counties) were summoned was in 1258 and the earliest known attendance of burgesses (representing boroughs) was at the 1265 meeting, but it is not known which counties and boroughs were involved.
