Lord Mayor Mohammed Abbasi
OXON: A replacement will be sought for Oxford’s disgraced town crier, the Lord Mayor has confirmed.
Anthony Church quit his role this month(FEB) after he admitted wrongly wearing military medals and lying about serving in the Coldstream Guards.
He was appointed as Oxford’s first town crier by then-Lord Mayor of Oxford Elise Benjamin in 2011. He also represented Banbury, Thame, Wallingford and Chipping Norton.
