The principal purpose of the Court, apart from preserving the traditional Ceremony, is to receive Presentments from the electors within the parish of Bideford for deliberation by the Council, in the interests of the Town. These Presentments will be considered and presented to the Court by the Jury, the members of which are required to be electors within the parish of Bideford, sworn in at the Court for that purpose.
Applicants who wish to attend, and those sending in presentments all need to be Bidefordians.
The Mayor presides and a guest speaker is invited along to "entertain" the participants while the jurors deliberate on the presentments before them.
If you would like to send in a presentment, or would like to be a juror, or wish to apply to attend the ceremony.
