Arms of the University of Manchester

The University of Manchester has gone through a number of different institutional existences since its foundation in 1824, and has within it institutions which bear arms in their own right, particularly the older halls of residence.

Armorial of Municipalities of Dorset

I am attempting to produce a complete armorial of municipalities of Dorset, England, in the standard Wikimedia Commons/User:Sodacan style. Heraldry in Dorset varies greatly in degrees of officialdom, and so some of the arms seen here have not been granted by the College of Arms, however despite this they are or have been in some use as armorial bearings, so are depicted here.

A note on the arms of Poole: The dolphin is described in the blazon (the original 1563 one and the 1976 one which came with the grant of supporters to the new Borough Council) simply as a "dolphin". This allows for the dolphin to be depicted in any reasonable manner, including the heraldic manner seen on the arms of Poole below. Whether or not the Borough Council used an emblazonment of the arms depicting an heraldic manner or in a naturalistic manner is irrelevant, and my emblazonment of the arms is correct in following the blazon.
