Preston Guild

‘Once in every Preston Guild’ means once every twenty years. A few years before the Preston Guild celebrations in 1992 Preston Lace Makers decided to mark the occasion by making a cloth. All members of Preston Lace Makers took part using a design by Jean Hardy.

The spokes of the cloth are taken from designs in the wrought iron work in an old shopping arcade, the arches round the edge of the cloth represent the bridges over the river.

The emblems on the cloth are:

The lamb of Preston; the cross of St George; Preston Lace Makers badge and the Lancastrian Rose worked in the wrong colour of ivory and not red - you could say this was lace makers licence!!

Millennium Stole

Preston Lace Makers decided to commemorate the Millennium with a joint project of a silk torchon shawl designed by Marian Miller
