The Lord High Treasurer of Great Nortend is fourth highest ranking Officer of State in Great Nortend, ranking below the Lord High Chamberlain and above the Lord High Admiral. He serves as the official head of His Majesty's Treasury and Exchequer, and holds the informal title of Prime Minister of Great Nortend as the de facto head of His Majesty's Government primer inter pares. The Lord Treasurer serves as the senior-most Minister of the Crown in Government and generally determines the official Government policy of the day.

The Lord Treasurer is invariably drawn from the temporal peers of the House of Lords; however, there have been a number of occasions when MPs from the Houses of Commons have been elevated to the peerage or more often, the banneretcy, in order to serve as Lord Treasurer

The 1st Banneret de Stornton, Sir Spencer de Stornton, has held the position of Lord High Treasurer since the end of the 2020 Michaelmas Term, after the retirement of the 8th Duke of Limmes from the position owing to failing health.
