List of honorary recorders

This is a list of the current titular and honorary recorders in the Courts of England and Wales, together with the Crown Court venue at which they sit.

The title of honorary recorder is awarded by a borough council to a judge who sits at the Crown Court within their domain. It is intended to mark the link between the administration and judiciary. Conventionally the title is bestowed upon the resident judge, who is appointed by the Lord Chief Justice to be the most senior circuit judge sitting at that Crown Court.
