Mitchell

Life
David Mitchell and his partner Julie are the Chester Town Criers (2019). As a young man David first encountered the Town Crier in Chester - which can be dated to after 1978. Julie is a costume designer.

Works
David is (2019) the author of two books on the subject of the "Town Crier". As he said (see: The Chester Blog):


 * "I wrote the book because when I first became a Town Crier, 27 years ago, my natural inclination was to read up on the role of what I was going to be part of” says David. “I went to the library and they didn’t have anything so I contacted the British library and they didn’t have anything either. They told me that they didn’t think anything had ever been written. It took me a while to realise that there was an opportunity there!"
