Memorial to Frank Atwells, who died in office in 1892
The
Borough of Reading, in the English county of
Berkshire, currently has a largely ceremonial
mayor. The mayor is responsible for chairing full council meetings as well as representing the council at events, welcoming guests and visiting local organisations. However the role is an ancient one, being first recorded in the 14th century, and has many guises over the years. Former mayors include the following.[1]
