The A.H. Guild are sad to announce the death of David Taylor, town crier of Leominster after a long fight with cancer.
A full civic funeral was held on Friday 17th September at Leominster Priory at 12:00. Criers and escorts attended in full regalia. There was a “Bells Up” in the church after the Criers Prayer was read.
Our sincere condolences go to DavidÂ’s wife, Julie, and family. ---------------------------
It is with great sadness that the Town Council reports the death of its serving Town Crier , Dave Taylor , after a three year battle with cancer.
He was a much-loved and highly respected friend to us all, who has given so much of himself to our own town, not least in his role as a Fire-fighter but also as our popular, fun-loving Town Crier and local character. He promoted Leominster at every opportunity and won several awards for his championship town-crying. The Town will miss him greatly.
Our thoughts are with his wife and family whose loss is immeasurable.
