Administrative / biographical background
The accounts are chiefly for wages, and certain features are common to them. The first entry is for the wages of the Clerk of the Cheque, and an allowance for paper, ink and quills; then generally follow entries for the 'pluggkeeper', Porter, Nightwatchmen, Carmen and Labourers. The function of the Clerk of the Cheque is described as the safe keeping of the King's storehouses and timber yard; the carmen and labourers are paid according to the 1634 account for 'Rummedginge and other services', and the July-September 1635 account amplifies this into carting timber and plank 'at ye survey', stocking it up again, rummedging of timber, hauling and clearing away rubbish. The two carmen then each had a boy and several horses. The 1649 account shows differences in layout from the earlier ones. It commences with the Clerk of the Cheque, the payment for his 'entertainment' for the half year being much more (£33.6.8). than two sums of quarterly wages (£4.12.0) from the previous accounts. Then follow payments to William Acworth, Storekeeper, for entertainment, board wages and boat hire. The Porter is paid for 'keeping the plug' and a labourer for 'keeping the clock' (July-September 1635, the Plugkeeper kept the clock).
