High Sheriff of Brecknockshire information


This is a list of High Sheriffs of Brecknockshire or Breconshire.

The office of High Sheriff of Brecknockshire was established in 1535 since when a High Sheriff was appointed annually by the Queen until 1974 when the office was merged into that of High Sheriff of Powys as part of the creation of Powys from the amalgamation of Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire and Brecknockshire.
