In local government what title is used to describe a treasurer, a job often undertaken by a parish clerk?

Bursar ?

[Hmmmmmmm]

There are a variety of names for what we'd now probably call the Director of Finance. Borough Treasurer was once the most common, and Comptroller and Treasurer, or just plain Comptroller was a common variation of this. Hope this helps - all part of the service from the Local Government Information Unit (www.lgiu.gov.uk)!!!!!!!
