page 23 note 1 Lord Lucas was in fact removed from office upon the accession of Queen Anne, and died in January, 1704–5 (G.E.C. Complete Baronage, sub ‘Baron Lucas of Shenfield ’). The title ‘Chief Governor ’ was occasionally used to describe the office of Constable or Lieutenant, and ‘Deputy-Governor ’ that of Deputy-Lieutenant, as late as 1746. See the trials of Lords Kilmarnock Cromarty and Balmerino (Howell's State Trials xviii, 448, 458). Lord de Ros was the last Deputy-Lieutenant, the office being abolished on his death in 1874 (Bell, Historic Personages Buried in the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, 41). The Major is Resident Governor at the present day. In a plan at the Tower “by Capt. Lempriere, 1726,” the house marked “Constable's Lodgings” in the plan which forms the frontispiece to the present volume is marked “Major's Apartments.” See further, as to the officers of the Tower, Lord Lonsdale's Memorial to the King, Diary, May 23, 1728, p. 55, infra.
