The Old Man of Kendal
Herald of the Night
Once the town crier, now eternally announcing the approaching darkness with his long overcoat and haunted expression. Follow him through Kendal's narrow yards and alongside the flowing river and listen.
The Old Man of Kendal
Herald of the Night
Once the town crier, now eternally announcing the approaching darkness with his long overcoat and haunted expression. Follow him through Kendal's narrow yards and alongside the flowing river and listen as he talks about the dead, the not-quite-gone and the things that still stalk the parks and buildings of the auld grey town. From him you can hear about the small girl in blue, the death of poor Constable Fawcett.
