The Office of High Sheriff of Somerset is an ancient High Sheriff title which has been in existence for over one thousand years.[1] The position was once a powerful position responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing law and order in Somerset a county in South West England. In modern times the sheriff has become a ceremonial role, presiding over public ceremonies. Until 1567 the High Sheriff of Somerset was also the High Sheriff of Dorset.[2]

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the high sheriff is theoretically the Sovereign's judicial representative in the county, while the Lord Lieutenant is the Sovereign's personal representative.[3] Their jurisdictions, the "shrieval counties", are no longer co-terminous with administrative areas, representing a mix between the ancient counties and more recent local authority areas. The post is unpaid (except for a nominal court attendance allowance), and the general expenses of the office are borne personally by the holder.[4] Eligibility for nomination and appointment of High Sheriff is controlled by the Sheriff’s Act of 1887.
