In the borough of Ripon: (a) (in the 15–16th cent.) the designation of a class of municipal officers, whose duties included attendance on the shrine of St. Wilfrid; cf. quot. 1552 at sense 1, relating to one of the parishes of Beverley; (b) the title of the chief magistrate of the borough until 1604, when it was exchanged for the title of mayor.Lists of the ‘wakemen’ of the borough from 1400 to 1604 are extant, giving as a rule one name for each year, and ending with Hugh Ripplaye (see quot. c1605). It is commonly assumed that the ‘wakeman’ who was chief magistrate was the head of the body of ‘wakemen’ referred to in quots. 1478, 1511, but there is no evidence of this.
