Ceremonial mace

This intricately designed silver mace, bearing the University coat of arms, is used on formal occasions such as graduation ceremonies. The mace was given to the University by Sir Stanley Hugh Badock who was a generous supporter of the University. Badock was Chairman of Capper-Pass, the metal refiners and manufacturers, from 1905-1936. He was Sheriff of Bristol for a term, as well as holding the roles of Chairman, Treasurer and Pro-Chancellor of the University’s Council at various times.
