==Epping Forest Verderers==
{{also|Epping Forest Keepers}}
Verderers in the former [[Epping Forest|Royal Forest of Epping]] (formerly [[Waltham Forest (Legal Forest)|Waltham Forest]]) have been appointed since the early 13th century, although early records are incomplete. The office was preserved by the [[Epping Forest Act 1878]], which named the foundation verderers of the new regime: [[Sir Fowell Buxton, 3rd Baronet]], [[Antonio Brady|Sir Antonio Brady]], [[Thomas Charles Baring]], and [[Andrew Johnston (English politician)|Andrew Johnston]]. They are nowadays elected at septennial elections among the registered commoners, two for the northern parishes, two for the southern. The verderers act as representatives of the users of the Forest, meet the Superintendent and other officials regularly, and are members of the Epping Forest Committee of the [[City of London]]. A history of the verderers of this Forest was published in 2004.<ref>{{cite book|first= Richard|last= Morris|title=Verderers and Courts of Waltham Forest in the County of Essex, 1250-2000|publisher=[[Loughton]] and District Historical Society|year=2004|isbn=0954231465}}</ref>
