A TOWN crier has put out an appeal for help to replace his worn-out gloves.

Trevor Heeks, Trowbridge town crier, is looking for right-hand gloves to replace ones worn out by bellringing sessions.

A Trowbridge Town Council spokesman said: "Trevor is right handed and wears out his right glove by his vigorous bell ringing. He has a stack of unworn left hand gloves."

Mr Heeks is appealing for left handed town criers in the UK with a stack of unworn right hand gloves to get in touch with him to do a glove swap.
