Prestwich Medal
The Prestwich Medal will be awarded every three years to persons ‘who shall have done well for the advancement of the science of geology’.
It was established under the will of Sir Joseph Prestwich (1812-1896); however, the bequest was not payable until after the death of Lady Prestwich in 1899.
