The High Sheriffs of County Antrim

The Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum is delighted to host an exhibition on behalf of the High Sheriff of County Antrim for 2024, Mrs Patricia Perry.

The office of High Sheriff is an ancient one that dates back nearly 1,000 years, making it the oldest secular office in the United Kingdom. Each county or city borough appoints a High Sheriff as the monarch’s judicial representative. The role has changed considerably over the years and is now an honorary appointment.

This exhibition explores the history and role of the High Sheriff of County Antrim. It also considers how the ancient office has evolved over the centuries and what its modern-day responsibilities include.

Why not come and see the old ceremonial uniform of the High Sheriff, last worn by Sir William Moore in 1964? There are also other objects relating to the office of High Sheriff on display.
