Sheriff Of Cambridgeshire And Huntingdonshire
This is an incomplete list of Sheriffs of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire from 1154 until the abolition of the office in 1965.
Exceptionally, the two counties shared a single sheriff. Sheriffs had a one year term of office, being appointed at a meeting of the privy council generally held in February or March and holding office until the similar meeting in the next year. In 1648 it became the practice to rotate the office between inhabitants of Cambridgeshire proper, the Isle of Ely and Huntingdonshire. This was done in a three year cycle, with an inhabitant of each area occupying the office in turn.
