Exhibition to celebrate 40 years of Shrewsbury town crier

An exhibition to celebrate 40 years of Shrewsbury’s town crier will open at the Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery in June.

Martin Wood, who stands at 7ft 2in (2.2m), is a well-known face in the town, who has announced events from parades to earthquakes over his four decades in the role.

The centrepiece of the exhibition is a specially commissioned oil painting of Mr Wood in his blue, red and gold regalia, by Shropshire-based painter Jacob Gourley.

Mr Wood said he was “amazed and chuffed” to hear about the exhibition, though added that it reminded him of his age.
