Once Every Preston Guild!
"Once every Preston Guild" is a local expression meaning infrequently. In fact the ancient fair called Preston Guild or Preston Guild Merchant is held only once every twenty years. The medallion illustrated is engraved in high relief, and is struck in bronze. It is based on a design by a Preston pupil, Ravish Limbachia and has been developed and modelled by Ron Dutton.

Preston
Preston was recognised as a Borough by Royal Charter of Henry II in 1179. This also gave it rights to a fair and market. The Borough was to be run by the freemen of the Guild Merchant. The fair was held at irregular intervals before 1542, and then every 20 years.
The last fair was in 1992, and so the next is due to be held in 2012.
