The World Gurning Championship, held at Egremont Crab Fair since at least 1852, dates back to the fair’s founding in 1267 by royal charter. Competitors pull grotesque faces through a horse collar, possibly evolving from mocking village idiots or sour crab apple reactions. The longest-running gurning contest, it features men’s, women’s, and junior categories, with Tommy Mattinson holding a record 19 wins. | Historyinmemes
