What is a Town Crier?
A Town Crier makes proclamations and announcements for his or
her town or community.
Criers attend functions or celebrations and ring their bell to get everyone's attention before
reading a special announcement or proclamation from a scroll. Criers normally cry loudly and clearly so that all can hear.
They
use the traditional opening word "OYEZ! [oh yeah!] which is a very old french term meaning "To Hearken" or "Hear YE!"
Once
having read the "Cry" or message in a suitable fashion to all assembled, the Crier traditionally finishes with the words "God
Save The Queen" or "God Bless Canada!" whilst raising their hat. | |
