自治市（City status），直译应该是城市地位，是由英国君主特许的一类社区。自治市不以任何特别的标准为基础。传统上只颁发给有主座教堂（diocesan cathedrals）的市镇，2者之间的这种联系开始于1540年代初，亨利八世在6个市镇建立教区，颁发给它们特许状，成为自治市，但一些英国城市在日期上甚至早于古代君主，自从远古时期就被当作城市。自治城市并没有什么特殊的好处。
[编辑] 自治市直到16世纪，一个市镇要被君王恩准成为自由城市的不变的界限是其是否拥有主座教堂。这使得一些自治市今天非常小，因为它们在工业革命期间人口没有增长—显著的如Wells，人口只有1万(见英国最小城市)。从16世纪直到19世纪，没有新主教区设立，也就没有设立新的自治市，只是1836年因为设立Ripon主教区才恢复设立。此后又设立了一系列新的主教区和自治城市。这种程序在1888年被改变，特许伯明翰和其他没有主座教堂的大居民点成为自治城市(伯明翰的教区礼拜堂后来成为主座教堂)。 20世纪成为主座教堂的市镇，如吉尔福德和布莱克本，并未自动成为自治城市。
现在英国共有66个被承认的自治市(包括30个设大市长的城市):英格兰50个(23个有大市长的城市)，威尔士5个(2个有大市长的城市)，苏格兰6个(4个有大市长的城市) ，北爱尔兰5个(1个有大市长的城市)。 [编辑] 自治市列表
(1) 巴斯大教堂（Bath Abbey）和西敏寺不再是主座教堂。 (2) 考文垂曾歷經過3个主座教堂，第一代是聖瑪莉大教堂（St. Mary's，自1043年至1539年）; 第二代為聖麥可大教堂（St. Michael's，自1918年至1940年，1940年時它遭到德軍轟炸損毀），第三代為同名的聖麥可大教堂，啟用於1962年，現址位於前一代聖麥可教堂的旁邊。 (3) 注意此處所指的倫敦市是俗稱「平方一哩」（The Square Mile）的倫敦中心地帶，又常稱為「西堤區」（The City）。組成倫敦的大部分自治市鎮，包括西敏市與其他31個倫敦自治市鎮（London borough）都未擁有城市特許狀。 (4) The City of St Albans is a local 政府 district. [1] However, the district council calls itself "St Albans District Council" or "St Albans City and District". If the unparished area of St Albans did have city status, then it would have charter trustees, or would have lost its city status like Rochester did.

[编辑] 市议会[编辑] 申请自治城市的特许已经被用来标明皇家和其他的特殊原因。1969年，康沃尔公爵查尔斯受爵成为威尔士亲王时，斯旺西恩准成为自由城市。1977年女王伊丽莎白二世的银婚纪念时，德比获此殊荣。现在使用竞争方法以获得自由城市地位。第一次竞争发生在1992年，标志女王登基40周年。森德兰获胜。1994年2个历史悠久的主座教堂所在地—St David's和Armagh—得到自治市特许状。它们在历史上曾是自治城市，但该地位已经失去。2000年举行庆祝千禧年时，下列市镇申请自治城市:
3名获胜者是布赖顿和霍夫、Wolverhampton和因弗内斯. [编辑] 主座教堂市镇[编辑] 英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰Now that being the seat of a 英国圣公会diocese不再 sufficient (or necessary) to 成为a city,有一批主座教堂市镇. These are sometimes referred to as cities by their residents—particularly St Asaph and Rochester.
Additionally Llandaff, which is now part of the City of Cardiff local government district, is home to Llandaff Cathedral. The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica refers to Llandaff, Southwell and St Asaph as cities, along with Armagh and Lisburn in Northern Ireland, which only gained the status formally in 1994 and 2002 respectively. There are 4 towns in 北爱尔兰with Anglican Cathedrals that do not have city status — Clogher, Downpatrick, Dromore and Enniskillen. In total there are 18 English, Welsh and Northern Ireland towns that have city status but don't have Anglican cathedrals within their borders - 巴斯 (a former cathedral), 布赖顿 & Hove, 剑桥, Hull, Lancaster, 利兹, Newry, Nottingham、普利茅斯, Preston, Salford, 南安普敦、Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland, Swansea, Westminster and Wolverhampton. Cities to have acquired cathedrals after 1888 are 伯明翰, Bradford, Derby, Leicester, Newport, Portsmouth and Sheffield. [编辑] 苏格兰[编辑] 大型市镇At every census the government produces the report Key Statistics for Urban Areas which shows that the following are the largest nine urban sub-areas not to be part of a city or have a city as a component:
See 英国城市人口排名 for further such examples in England. It should be noted that city status is usually not granted to urban areas, but to local government areas such as civil parishes and boroughs — the boundaries, and hence populations, of which are not necessarily the same。City of Stirling和City of Inverness provide counterexamples here.Stirling Council's application for city status was specifically for the urban area of the (now former) Royal Burgh of Stirling - proposed city boundaries were included, and so not all of the council area has city status. This leads to the oddity whereby city status can be granted to areas that are not generally regarded as towns. Historical of "federal cities" of this type would be Stoke on Trent, Sunderland和布赖顿& Hove - in all these cases the borough was formed and then city status granted to it afterwards. 最大的 local authorities to have applied for city status in the recent competitions are
