Sherry The Mouse Statue
The Sherry the Mouse Statue is statue based on Sherry the Mouse, a noted companion of Lord British. When locked down in a player's home and turned on, it will relate any current events in the realm when the word news is spoken nearby by a player. This is similar to a town crier as found near banks in most towns.
The statue was a reward option in exchange for 10,000 points as part of the Spring Cleaning 2008 and Clean Up Britannia 2011 events and is blessed.
It was to have originally been tied into the town crier system starting with Publish 53, but not until Publish 56 were all the bugs worked out.
