Freedom of the City Ceremony - 8th September 2012

The Freedom of the City of Peterborough was awarded to Dick Preston, President of the Baker Perkins Historical Society at a ceremony held in Cathedral Square, Peterborough on 8th September 2012. Also honoured on the same occasion were Father David Jennings and Her Majesty's Coroner for Peterborough, Mr Gordon Ryall.

Baker Perkins Historical Society Civic Reception – 29th July 2017

The Society and the Preston family had the privilege of a small Civic Reception at Peterborough Town Hall, hosted by the city’s Mayor, Cllr. John Fox and his wife Cllr. Judy Fox. This was to celebrate all the work done thus far on the Baker Perkins Archive, and also the websites. Although the Archive is not yet complete, with more material still to be handed over and catalogued, it was felt appropriate to hold the celebration now rather than later, as the websites already contain most of the interesting information from the material and can therefore be considered as almost complete.
