  • Canterbury was granted a city charter in 1448 which gave it the right to have a mayor and a sheriff.The city's web site records that King Henry VI decreed that the City should be "of one Mayor and one commonalty, wholly corporate for ever". The first mayor elected under royal charter was John Lynde. The responsibilities of mayors have diminished over the years. They were once in charge of keeping the peace, serving as chief magistrate and presiding over the local lawcourt. This caused problems as the mayor could be asked to chair sessions without experience or knowledge of law. The Justices of the Peace Act of 1968 decreed that mayors were no longer entitled to sit as magistrates by virtue of their office alone. The dignity and title of lord mayor was granted on 13 July 1988 whilst the 12th Lambeth Conference of the Anglican Church was being held in the city. A complete chronological list of bailiffs (1380–1447) and mayors (1448–1800) is given in Edward Hasted, The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent, vol. 12 (1801) pp. 603–611, available online from British History Online, page 63714.Names not otherwise referenced in the list below are taken from this source.

Le roi Henri VI a décrété que la ville devait être "d'un maire et d'un commun, entièrement corporative pour toujours". Le premier maire élu en vertu de la charte royale était John Lynde. Les responsabilités des maires ont diminué au fil des ans. Ils étaient autrefois chargés de maintenir la paix, de servir de juge en chef et de présider le tribunal local. Cela a posé des problèmes car le maire pourrait être invité à présider des séances sans expérience ni connaissance du droit. La loi de 1968 sur les juges de paix a décrété que les maires n'étaient plus autorisés à siéger en tant que magistrats en vertu de leur seule fonction. La dignité et le titre de Lord Maire ont été accordés le 13 juillet 1988 alors que la 12e Conférence de Lambeth de l'Église anglicane se tenait dans la ville . (fr)
