John Atkinson served as Foreman of Warwick Court Leet for a number of years and took on the role of Low Bailiff last year, supporting Mo Sutherland and will now be Bailiff of the Court for 2018/19. During his year as Bailiff, John is keen for the Court to continue maintaining the traditions of The Court and of Warwick and to sustain the events that raise money for town and people of CV34.

Warwick Court Leet was established by Royal Charter in 1554. Today The Court Leet is also now responsible for organising the Warwick Beer Festival and the Warwick Classic Car Show.

The Court also supports many civic functions and traditions of the town and raises funds for distribution to CV34 charities and good causes.
