: What defines a City a City ? I

: thought that if there was a
: Cathedral, then this would make it a
: city ! How come Guildford is not on
: the list ?

: 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.
