About Fencing in Preston

Preston in Lancashire was already the most important town in the district of Amounderness when first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, and its Guild Merchant, granted by King Henry II in a charter of 1179, controlled trade in the town for five centuries, with celebrations eventually settling into a tradition held once every twenty years. When free trade finally arrived in 1790, the Guild festivities survived as a beloved local custom, and from 1802 the celebration was taken over by the growing cotton industry, which had already established its first mill in the town in 1777 and grown to around 42 mills employing a fifth of the population by 1846.
