Canterbury, as a constituency, changed through time. Originally a borough, Canterbury was a county in itself from 1461, and had its own sheriff, tax assessors, escheator and justices of the peace. A charter of 1498 provided for a mayor, 12 aldermen and a common council of 24. The right of parliamentary election belonged to the freemen. Parliamentary writs were received and returned by the city’s sheriff.
