RECORDS RELATING TO OFFICIAL POSITIONS
The earlier records listed here, relating to the Lieutenancy, county militia and deputy lieutenants, appear to have come to Holkham when the 2nd Earl of Leicester became Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk in 1846. He continued in office for sixty years, until 1906, when he was succeeded in the position by his son, Viscount Coke (3rd Earl from 1909, died 1941).
Successive Holkham estate agents acted as Clerk to the Lieutenancy.
A letter of 1903 refers to destruction of earlier lieutenancy records in a fire at the Shire Hall in 1746.
