# Note:

The second Sir Robert de Stockport played a part in the development of the town the direct consequences of which lasted over 600 years. Around the year 1220 he obtained a Charter (pictured above) from the Earl of Chester, Randle III, called Randle the Good, which granted the burgesses of Stockport the right to elect their own mayor, without interference from their Earl or Baron. Despite challenges and attempts to subvert it, that Charter, with only few changes served as the basis of local government in Stockport until the 1835 Municipal Corporation Act swept away such ancient traditions and privileges, and gave England and Wales a uniform pattern of local authorities.
