Affabel Partridge

[2] On 25 July 1554 (her wedding day), Mary I of England ordered some of the jewels in the Tower of London to be delivered to her goldsmith "Affabel Partriche".

[6] In September 1560 Partridge and Brandon received 4000 ounces of silver plate scrapped from the Jewel House as unfit to serve at the queen's table, to be melted down and made into new objects.

The pieces for refashioning were "fifty tablets of sundry fashion tied upon a string whereof diverse have pomanders within them", and broken nether and upper habiliments (the jewelled bands which were worn at the forehead of a French hood), with aglets and their laces and pins.

[9] Partridge and Brandon were permitted to collect base money for refining at the royal mint in October 1560.

[10] Partridge sued Edward Baeshe of West Coker for the value of a garter set with rubies and pearls in 1565.

Affabel Partridge was set to work improving old royal jewellery for Elizabeth I in 1560
Affabel Partridge lent money to Robert Mabbe on the security of a pub in Southwark called The Tabard
