Introduction
"Oyez Oyez Oyez" Throughout
history town criers or sometimes known as bellmen have announced the news to the
people. Traditionally well educated and upstanding individuals, both men and
women were chosen as town criers to read out official proclamations and
announcements. Today town criers are officially appointed by the town mayor and
dressed in traditional seventeenth century uniform similar to the mayor and
sometimes incorporating the colours of the town criers own town. "God save the
Queen"
