An Honorary Freewomen and Freeman of Buckingham award is presented to someone who has given a long, selfless, and unflagging service to Buckingham Town Council.
This is a rare award, not given out every year. After the Town Council agrees on recipients for the award, a scroll is presented to them at the Mayor’s Reception of that year. Many of the Freewomen and Freemen listed below are also past Mayors of Buckingham.
