Town crier Town criers were once a familiar sight on the streets of England and America. With their bright red cloak and loud bell and voice, they could be seen and heard by everyone. Until the late 19m century, very few people could read. The town crier’s job was to stand in markets and public spaces, shouting the news
to the residents of the town. He would ring his bell to attract people’s attention. His traditional loud cry of "oyez, oyez", which means “listen, listen", would tell people that there was important news.
Records of town criers date from 1066, when we know they were used to spread the news of William the Conqueror’s invasion of Britain. Throughout history, they passed on news of war, politics and births and deaths of members of the Royal family. In 1666, news of the Great Fire of London was spread across the capital by town criers.
As more and more ordinary people learned to read, the job of town crier gradually disappeared. Notices displayed for all to see and, later, newspapers brought people the news instead. London still has an official town crier who attracts tourists to the city. One of his proudest moments was announcing the birth of Prince William to the people outside Buckingham Palace.
