Jonathan Jones was the Farnham Town Crier for 17 years (from 2003) and will present this entertaining and informative talk in full regalia.

He will give a fascinating look at the history of Town Criers, which can be traced back to at least medieval times. You will also learn more about their uniform, daily duties, competitions and how Jonathan, himself, was appointed.

This talk is part of our Window on the World series. Advance booking essential.
