An interesting, humorous and informative presentation on the unique history of Town Criers. This is because I am the Town Crier of Watton!
Hear just how long ago that Town Criers were crying their messages (and what messages they were). Learn about such things as their livery, evolution, rationale, means of attracting attention and their connections with the law.
I will, of course, be in full livery.
I will need to be able to park at, or very close to, your venue entrance. The presentation lasts for about 60 minutes and is suitable for all ages, including schools.

I am based in Thetford, Norfolk, but happy to travel. My work history is 29 years a police officer, followed by 4 years as a manager for Autoglass, then by 10 years as a prison officer and ending with 3 years as an Inclusion Manager in a secondary school. I am now a Town Crier and have been a speaker for over 20 years.
My website (www.medievalworld.org.uk) gives details of the talks and presentations I can offer. All my presentations last for about 60 minutes and cost £50 plus a fee for travel. However, I do not charge the standard 45p per mile, but only for what petrol I use for the journey.
