all of these chancellors above (the highest judicial position in england and cymru) have been scots until jack straw

born and raised in england, it is however, one of the scottish spellings of the names based on 'clerk'
these above were the "masters of the rolls" for the last twenty odd years, probably the second most senior judicial position... not quite so much scotchness here but still only one full english!
- Lord Lane (15 April 1980 - 27 April 1992)
english, i believe

- Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers (30 September 2005 - 1 October 2008) |
- Lord Judge (1 October 2008 - )

even better here, above, although in theory the lord cheif justice is more senior than the master of the rolls, with perhaps two "full english/welsh(cymraeg)" in the list
