In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape their sight. Meet David, Keith, Michael and Rob - the Yeomen Bedell of the Quadrangle (the keepers of the keys!). Are you ready to find out what they do on an average day? Here, they spill the beans on rumoured 聽secret underground tunnels, ghost lecturers and royal visitations.聽

So, what exactly is a Yeoman Bedell?

David: 鈥淕ood question. The position of Yeoman Bedell is one that dates way back into English history. It was then carried into universities like Cambridge and Oxford and eventually to our campus.鈥澛�

Rob: 鈥淚t is traditionally a ceremonial role that leads the graduation processions, but today the Yeomen鈥檚 job includes everything from ensuring the Quad is functioning and running as it should be, to occasionally driving the Chancellor to off-campus meetings!鈥�

There are lots of spooky rumours surrounding the Quad. Is it true that there are friendly ghosts who wander through the quiet corridors, like Hogwarts?

Keith: 鈥淚 remember I was here early one morning to open up a lecture theatre and I heard someone in the room lecturing. I ran up thinking they started early, but when I got there, the room was empty. It had to be a ghost in the room lecturing.鈥�

And the secret underground tunnels鈥�?

Michael: 鈥淭hey do exist, yes. We鈥檙e not sure exactly what they鈥檙e used for 鈥� maybe plumbing? We鈥檝e never been down them, but they鈥檙e definitely there.鈥�

So, you鈥檙e also responsible for changing the flags on the clocktower 鈥� what鈥檚 it like up there?

Michael: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a long 98 steps to get up there, but it鈥檚 worth it. You get a view of Sydney as far as the eye can see. It's one of the perks of the job."

Who鈥檚 the most famous person you鈥檝e ever met on campus?

Rob: 鈥淲e鈥檝e had Nicole Kidman here when her niece graduated. She was just having a coffee at Courtyard and as everyone walked past their jaws fell to the floor.鈥�

Keith: 鈥淲e also had a visit from the King and Queen of the Netherlands and the Princess of Swaziland. The whole quad was closed off for them, but we were still allowed in.鈥�

Like true heroes, our Yeomen even save lives!

Michael: 鈥淚t was just your average day, and then suddenly someone collapsed at the Quad. I called the ambulance and did CPR until they arrived. The hospital called me later to let me know that the person had survived.鈥�
