Preston Guild of 1972
The Mayor & Mayoress at the 1972 Preston Guild were brother and sister Fred & Evelyn Gray. The New Town Hall as seen on previous medals or medallions was unfortunately burnt down prior to the Guild celebration of 1972 and the now Preston Guild Hall & Charter Theatre was unfortunately not completed until after the 1972 Guild celebrations. The 1972 celebrations also saw the first joint church processions. Previously Anglican & Catholic churches held separte processions.

Obverse
The obverse design consists of three circles arranged in a triangular pattern within a larger circle. The three circles contain portraits of Henry VII representing the past, Elizabeth II representing the present, and three stars with the word "Future", representing the unknown future.
PRESTON GUILD MERCHANT
CHARTER

Reverse
The reverse shows the coat of arms of Preston, a lamb holding a cross, with the letters PP beneath for Proud Preston, in a circle within a triangle. Outside the triangle are the three more circles containing respectively a church, a shuttle as used in weaving cotton, and an aeroplane, signifying the importance locally of aerospace manufacturing.
