| High Shrievalties are the oldest secular titles under the Crown, in England and Wales. |
| Under the act, the Ridings lost their lieutenancies, shrievalties, and administrative counties. |
| Those that did not become county boroughs became part of adjacent administrative counties but retained their existing lieutenancies and shrievalties. |
| The shrievalty of the County Palatine has always been esteemed the blue riband of shrievalties. |
