At our Parish Council meeting last week, Councillor John Housley was officially appointed as Town Crier for Ecclesfield Parish.
The picture shows him receiving his letter of appointment from Mrs Bookey Oshin DL, Deputy Lord Lieutenant for South Yorkshire, and Councillor Susan Davidson, Chairman of the Parish Council.
A Town Crier is a historic position which serves as an official announcer of news, events and proclamations in the community. John has been undertaking this role on an unofficial basis for several years.
