Yeomen of the Guard 1660–1837

In 1660 the officers of the yeomen of the guard were the captain and the clerk of the cheque. The offices of lieutenant and ensign were instituted in 1668 and those of four corporals in 1669. (fn. 1) In the course of time the corporals came to be more commonly known as exons and this term was officially adopted in the warrants of appointment in 1836. (fn. 2) All these officers were appointed by royal warrant.

The salaries were as follows: captain £1,000, lieutenant £500, ensign £300, clerk of the cheque and corporals £150. The captain carried a gold or gold-tipped staff, the lieutenant a black staff with a silver head. (fn. 3)

The yeomen of the guard provided the effective indoor palace guard. They gave their attendance on the great or King's staircase and in the guard chamber, `40 by day, 20 to watch by night'. They also attended the King when he went abroad. The yeomen were intended to be `the best quality under Gentry, and of a larger Stature (for every one of them ought to be 6 Foot high).' Their dress was, and remains, distinctive:

These where Scarlet Coats down to the Knee, and Scarlet Breeches, both richly guarded with Black Velvet and rich badges upon their Coats before and behind. Moreover Black Velvet round broad-crowned Caps (according to the mode in the Reign of Hen. 8) with Ribbons of the Kings colour: One half of them of late bear in their hands Harquebuzes and the other half partisans, with large Swords by their sides. (fn. 4)

Yeomen of the guard were appointed by the captain. Prior to 1670 there were 250 Yeomen. In that year they were retrenched to 100 in ordinary with an additional 70 supernumerary at half-pay to succeed as vacancies opened up. The supernumerary yeomen seem to have been abolished in 1685. In 1669 they were paid 2s. 6d. per diem, or £45 11s. (fn. 5) Under William III this sank to £30 per annum, `which falls much short of what it has been formerly'. Under Queen Anne, their pay was raised to £39 11s 3d per annum, with yeoman ushers, hangers and bedgoers making an additional £10. (fn. 6) Yeoman of the guard also received diet when in waiting until its abolition in 1813. (fn. 7)

The following lists suffer from the fragmentary nature of surviving records for the yeomen of the guard. Gaps in the record of admissions are indicated by gaps in the lists.
