Little loud-mouth is Britain's youngest town crier
- 5 years ago
Oyez! Oyez! Evie Cloy has become Britain's youngest town crier -- at the tender age of EIGHT. The schoolgirl found herself in with a shout when she turned up to a contest to find the next 'bellman' for the seaside town of Creetown in Dumfries. The town has been without a crier since 1962, when WW1 veteran James Blake died at the age of 74 after 33 years of service. But not a single adult took part in the competition to find a successor, so up stepped Evie - with a very direct bid for the job.
