Mace of Llantrisant

The Mace of Llantrisant is a ceremonial mace associated with the town of Llantrisant and the Freemen of Llantrisant.^[2]^[1]^[3]

The mace bears a Royal Seal, and is one of very few ceremonial races that survived the Cromwell period, when all maces with Royal Seals were ordered to be destroyed.^[2]^[1]
