town crier of st. george's印象

St George's Parish is well worth a visit as it is such a historical area of Bermuda having been the capital originally. There are lots of old buildings and a wonderful Town Crier who narrated the dunking of a woman accused of nagging. Lots of crowd interaction and fun to watch. Plenty of small shops to look round and places to have refreshment. There is also a tourist ' train' ride to take in the sights.

A unique act they takes you back to the history of Bermuda. Entertaining and informative. Good cart to your day in historic St. George's parish in the islands.

This gentleman happened to be at a horrible restaurant, The Beach House, and in a horrible situation. Not only did he try to do what he could for the situation for, probably, 100 customers, he also was so kind and offered to take us back to our rental cottage. He is a true gentleman and maintained composure in the midst of chaos. He shared his embarassment for the situation and reflected what I believe is the true nature of the people of Bermuda - kind, god, caring and proud. He was so determined to make a horrible situation right. A good man.

One of the fun and historical attractions to watch while at St. George's parish in Bermuda is the reenactment of the colonial town crier and decreed punishment of dunking a person found guilty in a local trial. Visitors and audience watch and participate in lowering a person seated in a dunking chair into the harbor/canal water. The crowd cheers and applauds as the miscreant declares his/her innocence. St. George's town square also contains original stockcade and town hall buildings to explore. The parish has many scenic attractions from the harbor and schooner ship docked there, to the lush tropical park gardens or the statue of St. George. Climb among the cannon turrets at Fort St. Catherine and imagine fighting off Caribbean pirates at the entrance to the Bermuda island's deep water channel. Relax in one of the many pubs and restaurants for a cool beer or dine or traditional fish & chips. A short 40 minute ferry ride from King's Wharf Royal Dockyard will take you to St. George where you can spend an afternoon enjoying the shops, scenery and historic sites.

This guy is awesome and he can trace his heritage back to the 1600's. Lots of info and then we finished with the "dunking of the wench" which was hillarious unless you think deeply that this really happened to poor ladies. The actress was great and my husband even did the dunking.

A quirky presentation of the town's history. Try to catch the Weds or Sat session and enjoy the ducking stool - poor women even had a ducking on New Year's Eve

I great way to 'live' the culture of the times in a fun way for those of all ages. Men if you get there earlier then maybe you can get the honor of being the guys who dunk the "nag" in the channel.

We witnessed the public dunking of a female "accused" of gossipping...very entertaining! The Town Crier was very convincing while prodding the crowd to determine how many "dunks" the young woman should receive. It was a very humorous skit that had audience participation. Loved it!

Visitors to Bermuda often don't make to St. George's, all the way on the East End of Bermuda. And that is an unfortunate mistake. St. George's is where it all began and was the original capital. The Town is a UNESCO world heritage site. The vast majority of the buildings date to the 17th and 18th century, and are still in use today, as homes, shops, businesses and restaurant. You can feel the history as you walk the streets and alleyways. The beaches aren't pink-sand but the snorkeling is great and the views spectacular. Small enough to see the major sites in a day, but well worth a longer visit, too.

Very interesting to follow the Town Crier. He is exact and is good enough to include what is happening withing his group. One will especially appreciate the Dunking afterwards.
