See also: Sheriff of Nottingham

The High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests is a position established by the Normans in England.

The High Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the High Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. The High Sheriff changes every March.

From 1068 until 1567 the position existed as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Royal Forests but after 1567 separate appointments were made as High Sheriff of Derbyshire and High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire.

Trivia

The host of the Sheriff's Medieval Banquets at the Galleries of Justice in Nottingham introduces himself by this title rather than the more conventional Sheriff of Nottingham but, rather than identify with a particular historical Sheriff, gives his name as Adam de Greenwood, a play on the actor's own name.
