Section 249 (5) of Local Government Act 1972, allows the Council of a relevant authority (including a Parish Council) to admit to be honorary freemen or honorary freewomen of the place or area for which it is the authority.
Woodmansey Parish Council has adopted this statutory provision to recognise persons of distinction and persons who have, in the opinion of the authority, rendered eminent service to that place or area.
The law also requires a Parish Council to keep a register or log of all those who have been awarded the honour. In respect to Woodmansey Parish Council, this log can be found by clicking onto the link below, and as of April 2025 includes the names of
- Mrs Julie Los May 2023
