Dear EditorI would like to express my admiration for Devlin Hobson and the tremendous contribution he continues to make to our community as Nantwich’s Town Crier. The position of Town Crier dates back centuries to a time before newspapers, radio and the internet, when important announcements had to be delivered loudly in public so everyone could hear them. ”, town criers informed local people of royal proclamations, market days, elections, new by-laws and other important news. A Town Crier welcomes visitors, opens festivals and community events, supports charities, represents the town at competitions and helps keep local traditions alive for future generations. He is a wonderful ambassador for Nantwich, promoting the town with pride wherever he goes and reminding us all of the rich history and traditions that make our town so special.
