Mayoral Regalia
Traditionally, Mayors are entitled to wear civic regalia signifying their office. Evesham is no exception, and the current robes and chain of office date from 1974. The chain is made from gold, and bears the town’s crest on the badge. Each individual link of the chain bears the name of a former Mayor; the chain is regularly refreshed with the addition of new links with the names of recent Mayors added and older links removed and placed in the Almonry Museum. This ensures that the chain itself never wears out, as no individual link remains a part of it permanently.
Mayoress Regalia
The Mayoress or Mayor’s Consort also receive a chain of office with the names of former Mayor’s Consort on each of the links. As with the Mayor’s chain of office older links are removed for every new addition. Additionally there is a gold bracelet in the shape of Evesham Coat of Arms inscribed with ‘Presented to The Evesham Town Council, by the Family of the late Alderman W A & Mrs Fisher for the use of the Mayoress 1946’.
Deputy Mayor Regalia
A Deputy Mayor chain of office was presented to the Town Council by Cllr Andrew Dyke in 2003. It consists of individually hallmarked sections dating back to the 1920’s.
Town Clerk
The Town Clerk regalia consists of a robe and wig.
Town Crier
The Town Crier receives a full uniform complete with robes, hat and stockings.
