-
The Sheriff was originally the agent either of the Crown in the Principality or of a Marcher Lord. From the Tudor period onwards the executive powers exercised by the shrievalty diminished; the military duties were transferred to the Lord Lieutenant, and most of the remaining powers were lost to the Justices of the Peace or their paid officials. The office underwent a decline in status at the beginning of the eighteenth century; by the 19th century, it was largely judicial and ceremonial.
