Extracts from the Debenture Books of the Office of Ordnance 1593-1610, by Ruth Brown, published 2001 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 21, article, pp.14-20, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506568]   Download PDF
Abstract:
A series of Debenture Books for the Office of the Ordnance survive in the Public Record Office. The series, beginning in 1593, is neither complete nor consistent; some years are completely missing, while others are covered by two or even three volumes. The books record items received by the Ordnance and what they cost; some also record movements to and from stores. A few volumes have entries that include the signature or mark of the contractor. Some of the earliest volumes are damaged and difficult to read. As with earlier extracts, I have expanded the abbreviations for ease of comprehension.

Mortars for Gibraltar, by Ruth Brown, published 2001 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 21, article, pp.31-35, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506568]   Download PDF
Abstract:
In an earlier article I mentioned a series of 13-inch iron mortars, amongst the last guns that can be identified as being cast in the Weald for the British government. For the greater part of 18th century the Board of Ordnance had most of its mortars cast in bronze, except for the 13-inch mortars for Gibraltar. In 1718-9 Stephen Peters had provided 12 mortars for the recently gained colony and in 1745 these had been replaced by another 13 cast by William Bowen. Twenty-five years later they were in need of replacement.
