Statue commemorating 500 years of the shrievalty
The office of Sheriff of Newcastle upon Tyne existed from 1400 until local government reorganisation in 1974, and was reintroduced in 1996 as a title held additionally by the Deputy Lord Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne.[1] The city has a sheriff because it was historically a county corporate.
In 1950 Violet Grantham became the first woman to hold the office (becoming the first female Lord Mayor two years later),[2] and in 2019 Councillor Habib Rahman became the first BAME person to hold the office.[3][4]
William Haswell Stephenson, who held the office in 1886, commissioned a bronze statue of Queen Victoria by Alfred Gilbert to celebrate 500 years of the shrievalty; it stands in the city centre and is Grade II* listed.[5][6][7]
