Coachmaker c. 1669–1688; 1690–1782
The Establishment of 1669 lists a coachmaker at 12d per diem and one hackney livery, in 1682 worth £18 5s. In 1685 his emoluments were settled at £36 per annum. From 1713 to 1727 there were two such officers. (fn. 1)
In 1782 it was reported that since the coachmaker already submitted bills and was 'very well paid' for his work, his salary ought to be discontinued. The salaried position was eliminated on 7 Nov. 1782. (fn. 2)
