God Save the King - Totnes Museum

You will have to walk down Fore Street in Totnes yourselves to view the details in a shop window that tell you more about the legend of the Brutus Stone. It's the block of granite - set into the pavement - that Museum Heritage Officer Alan Langmaid is standing upon. He's taking part in filming for a BBC Spotlight feature on a trip down the River Dart which is being broadcast on our regional news, on BBC 1,  tomorrow night - August 18th. The stone is still used by Town Mayors when a new Monarch is crowned. So the next time our town leader stands on this spot will be to shout "God Save The King!"
