Annapolis Royal Town Crier
Peter Crofton Davies and Escort Valerie Davis

A Town Crier was appointed by the civil authorities, often the Mayor, to keep the citizens informed of matters of national and local importance - anything from Royal events, wars, taxation, and minor misdemeanours, even lost dogs.

The Town Crier, being a true, trusted Royalist, was also often empowered to uphold the law.

In fact, it was once a treasonable offence to assault or interfere with a Town Crier in the execution of his duty.

Always being available for local events and Having won many Competitions, Peter Davies and his lovely escort Valerie Davies make wonderful representatives for the Town of Annapolis Royal.
