Notes
change- ↑ meaning before 1189, the official start of English common law
- ↑ the City of London covers only the "square mile", and is usually just referred to as "the City". The larger conurbation of Greater London has no city charter, and consists of the City of London, the City of Westminster and 31 other London boroughs.
- ↑ The title of City was used "by courtesy" after 1550 when Westminster ceased to be the see of a bishop. By Letters Patent dated 27 October 1900 city status was conferred on the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Westminster from 1 November.[4] This status was continued on the creation of the City of Westminster as a London borough in 1965.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 City status confirmed by Letters Patent issued under the Great Seal dated 25 June 1974.[6]
- ↑ 5.00 5.01 5.02 5.03 5.04 5.05 5.06 5.07 5.08 5.09 5.10 5.11 5.12 5.13 5.14 5.15 5.16 5.17 5.18 5.19 5.20 5.21 5.22 5.23 5.24 5.25 5.26 5.27 5.28 5.29 5.30 City status confirmed by Letters Patent issued under the Great Seal dated 1 April 1974.[7]
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 Present Unitary Council Areas which incorporate majority areas from the 4 cities that existed prior to the introduction of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 are declared "cities" by that same act, which also reserves the post of Lord Provost for the convener of the four councils.
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 City status confirmed by Letters Patent issued under the Great Seal dated 28 May 1974.[13]
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 Letters Patent under the Great Seal were issued on 29 March 1996 ordaining that the counties of Swansea and Cardiff should have the status of cities from 1 April 1996. The counties replaced the previous district councils which had enjoyed city status.[16]
- ↑ The Letters Patent also granted the title of Lord Mayor.[17]
- ↑ A letter from the Home Secretary to the Mayor of Leicester dated 14 June 1919, confirming that the city status would be bestowed, noted that this was a "restoration to your ancient town of its former status of a city".[18][19][20]
- ↑ City Status confirmed by Letters Patent issued under the Great Seal dated 18 March 1975.[33]
- ↑ Burghs of Old Aberdeen and Woodside and the district of Torry incorporated as the City and Royal Burgh of Aberdeen by the Aberdeen Corporation Act 1891 (54 & 55 Vict. c. cxxiv).
- ↑ Letters Patent under the Great Seal conferring City Status were issued to the unitary authority of York on 1 April 1996, confirming the right of the Lord Mayor to be styled "Right Honourable", in continuation to those granted to the previous City Council abolished 31 March 1996.[16]
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 Letters Patent dated 1 June 2012 "to ordain that the Town of Chelmsford in the County of Essex and the Town of St Asaph in the County of Denbighshire shall have the status of a City".[42]
- ↑ Warrant issued 28 January 1889 that Letters Patent be issued under the Seal appointed by the treaty of union to be used in place of the Great Seal of Scotland, ordaining and declaring that the Burgh of Dundee shall be a City, and shall be called and styled "The City of Dundee".[49]
- ↑ City status was confirmed by Letters Patent dated 9 July 1974.[53] The city status extends to the entire district, although the district council calls itself "St Albans District Council" or "St Albans City and District"
- ↑ 17.0 17.1 17.2 The status of these cities changed on 1 April 2009 due to local government reforms. Salisbury became a civil parish, while charter trustees were formed for the former district council areas of Chester and Durham in the new unitary authorities of Cheshire West and Chester and County Durham respectively.[56][57]
- ↑ Legally, the city and county are called "Londonderry", while the local government district is called "Derry". See Derry/Londonderry name dispute.[66]
- ↑ City status was conferred on Hereford Town Council 11 October 2000.[76] The status had previously been confirmed to the district council formed in 1974. When that council was abolished in 1996 charter trustees were formed for the City of Hereford. On the formation of a town council for Hereford in April 2000 the charter trustees were dissolved, and the city status temporarily lapsed.
- ↑ Letters Patent 1 April 2009[78] City status had been held prior to this date and, since 1974, by the Charter Trustees of the City of New Sarum (The city of Salisbury's formal name was New Sarum cf. Old Sarum from 1227 until 2009)
- ↑ Letters Patent dated 4 November 1980. A town council had been constituted in 1980 leading to the dissolution of the Charter Trustees of the City of Lichfield.[80][81]
- ↑ Armagh had previously enjoyed city status, with St Patrick's Cathedral the seat of the metropolitan primate of all Ireland. The city status was lost in 1840 when the city corporation was abolished. However, the successor urban district council and district council frequently used the title of city without official sanction prior to 1994.
- ↑ St David's historically had city status because of the presence of St David's Cathedral. In 1849 it was noted that the city had no municipal corporation: There was however a recognised "city" in which a mayor had limited jurisdiction.[93] A Royal Commission appointed in 1876 reported that the corporation had long been extinct, and the city was formally abolished in 1886 under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1883.[94] Letters Patent dated 16 September 1994 ordained that the "Town of St. David's shall have the status of a City".[95]
