Today the Warwick Town Crier visited Warwick School. This is a tradition that goes back over a hundred years, from a time when the Mayor of Warwick sent the Town Crier to school to speak to the Head Master, to request that the boys were given half a day’s holiday. To the relief of the Junior School boys, Mr Barker, the Head Master, agreed that our upcoming half term holiday could go ahead!

After the Town Crier’s proclamation, he toured the school and boys were invited to put some money into his hat to go towards a collection for the Mayor’s Charity, which this year is providing a Christmas Meal for older people in social isolation.
