The Story of Town Criers
speaker
Brian Sylvester

2.30 pm, Friday 9th April 2010 at the Town Hall

We all know the call of  'Oyez, oyez' and the elaborate uniforms - but what is the story behind town criers? What was their role in years gone by?

Newbury's own Town Crier will bring us the story of this age old position.
