On Friday 11th October, children from local primary schools including St John’s and Tidcombe gathered in the Pannier Market in Tiverton for this ancient tradition dating back to 1300’s.
The Beadle Alan Burnett, read the Proclamation and the Mayor Cllr Colin Slade spoke to the children, before the rolling of the pennies began. The children had fun gathering the pennies and were treated to a glass of orange squash after the ceremony courtesy of the Market Cafe.
