Posted by The Happy Hippy on June 24, 2005, 6:36 pm, in reply to "Guildford " --Previous Message-- A number of very old cities have their status defined by Ancient Prescriptive Usage, but the great majority have had the honour bestowed upon them by the monarch, using the Royal Prerogative through Letters Patent. Most cities probably have a Cathedral, but having a Cathedral doesn't automatically make a city.
