EXTRACT FROM SURVEY OF THE TOWER ARMOURY, 1660

Harl. MS. 7457

[Sidenote: _Greenwich._]

Wee doe find aswell upon our owne view as upon the information of diverse officers of the Armoury stoorekeeper and others That dureing the time of the late distraccions The severall Armes amunition and Habiliments of Warre formerly remaineing in the greene Gallery at Greenwich were all taken and carryed away by sundry Souldiers who left the doore open; That sundry of the said Armes were afterwards brought into the Tower of London by Mr. Anneslye where they are still remaineing; That the Wainescot in the said Gallery is now all pull’d downe and carryed away; and (as We are informed) was imployed in wainescotting the house in the Tower where the said Mr. Anneslye lived; That a great part of the severall Tooles and other utensils for makeing of Armour formerly remaineing in the Master Armourers workehouse there and at the Armourers Mill, were alsoe within the tyme of the said distraccions taken and carryed away (saving two old Trunkes bound about with Iron, which are still remaineing in the said workehouse, One old Glazeing wheele, still at the Mill, and one other glazeing wheele sold to a Cutler in Shoo lane): That sundry of the said Tooles and other utensills have since byn converted and sold to private uses, by those who within the tyme of the late distraccions had the Command and care of the said armes and Tooles, both at Greenwich and at the Tower: That diverse of the said Tooles are still in other private mens hands, who pretend they bought them: That the great Anville (called the great Beare) is now in the custodye of Mr. Michaell Basten, locksmith at Whitehall, and the Anville knowne by the name of the little Beare, is in the custodie of Thomas Cope, one of His Majesties Armourers; And one Combe stake in the Custody of Henry Keeme one other of his Majesties Armourers And that the said Mill formerly employed in grinding and glazeing and makeing cleane of Armes, is destroyed and converted to other uses by one Mr. Woodward who claims it by virtue of a Graunt from King James (of blessed memorye) but the officers of the Armorye (for his Majesties use) have it now in their possession.

[Sidenote: _Memorandum._]

That the severall distinguishments of the Armors and Furnitures before mencioned, viz^t The first serviceable, The second defective, and to be repaired, The third unserviceable, in their owne kinds, yet may be employed for necessary uses, are soe reported by Richard Kinge and Thomas Cox, two of his Majesties Armorers at Greenwich, who were nominated and appointed in his Majesties Commission, under his signe Manual before recited, to be assistant in this Service: And we doe thinke the same to be by them faithfully and honestly soe distinguished.

WILL. LEGGE, Master of his Majesties Armories. J. ROBINSON, Lt: Ten: Toure. JO. WOOD, Barth Beale.
