Townley Parker was elected Guild Mayor of Preston in 1861–2. He was also a prominent Freemason. Whereas most Freemasons Lodges are named after areas or moral virtues, Townley Parker had the unusual honour of having not one but two Masonic Lodges named for him; namely Townley Parker Lodge 1032, which currently meets at Cunliffe Hall in Chorley and Townley Parker Lodge 1083, which meets in Manchester.
