MR. PRESTON'S HORNPIPE [2]. AKA and see "Cheshire Round (2)." English, "Old" or Triple Hornpipe (3/2 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. The title of the tune was "Cheshire Round (2)" when it was printed in London music publisher John Walsh's Third Book of the Most Celebrated Jiggs, Lancashire Hornpipes... (1731), however, John Offord noted the similarity of the melody with an older hornpipe by Thomas Marsden called "Mr. Preston's Hornpipe (1)." He retitled the tune in his own book to emphasize the connection.
