Thank you for joining us Martin 😍
Shrewsbury Town Crier Martin Wood proudly represented our town at the National Championships in Bromsgrove this weekend! Competing among 25 criers—including one from Australia—Martin delivered two powerful cries: one celebrating Shrewsbury’s rich history, and another on the importance of museums.
Dressed in his unmistakable red and blue uniform, Martin brought his signature booming voice to the event. While the top title went elsewhere, Martin was proud to take part, saying, “It’s always a thrill to represent Shrewsbury and stand shoulder to shoulder—well, a little taller than most!—with fellow criers.”
A true ambassador for our town, 7ft 2" tall Martin celebrated 40 years as Shrewsbury’s official Town Crier last year with an exhibition at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery and continues to honour the traditions and spirit of Shrewsbury wherever he goes!
