Faye Thompson is Petersfield’’s Town Crier, an unpaid position that promotes Petersfield and the kind of people we are.

She has been at many ceremonies, crying out proclamations as well as other less formal events like talking to schools. Martin, her husband is the Deputy Town Crier, who is looking into the history of the role.

The brightly coloured livery and bell ringing attract attention when they're out and about.

They gave Mike Waddington some examples of what has been happening - including participating in competitions and also very formal occasions like Chichester's Corporation of Camden, which has admitted femaie members for the first time in over 300 years - they asked Faye to MC the moment.

Local artist Sheryl Pape has painted a portrait of the couple in oils (shortly the Mayor too) and it will be on display at the Charity Market at the Festival Hall on Saturday 6 December.
