APPENDIX II: THE ACCOUNTS OF THE GARRISON OF HULL, 1642–1643
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2011
Extract
Garrison warfare was a far more characteristic action of the civil wars than set-piece battles, with more soldiers employed in garrisons than in the field armies. Yet historians have neglected these garrison histories because they appear less dramatic and more mundane than battlefield engagements. This is partly due, as Ian Atherton has recently pointed out in his study of royalist Lichfield, to few garrison accounts having survived, with even fewer in print. Therefore the voluminous accounts for the major garrisons of Hull and Beverley held in The National Archives deliver a rare insight into garrison life. A garrison was planted at Hull in 1639 as the town was the key arsenal for equipping and supplying the royal army during the Bishops' Wars. What became the civil war garrison was established on 23 January 1642, when John Hotham marched several companies of the East Riding trained bands from his father's trained band regiment into Hull. Five days later, he was able to supplement them with companies of Hull's own militia.

21 Christopher Legard of Anlaby had been one of Sir John Hotham's captains in his East Riding trained band regiment. His house was plundered by the royalists during the first siege of Hull in July 1642. Francis Bacon served as his lieutenant: Legard, J.D., The Legards of Anlaby and Ganton (London, 1926), pp. 27Google Scholar, 45, 84–86; TNA, E121/4/8, no. 29; BL, Add. MS 28,082, fo. 80v.
22 William Goodricke of Skidby had been one of Sir John Hotham's captains in his East Riding trained band regiment. In early November 1642 he was promoted to sergeant-major. After the arrest of the Hothams, he or more likely his son served as captain of horse in Lord Fairfax's regiment: TNA, E121/4/8, no. 37; BL, Add. MS 28,082, fo. 80v; Goodricke, C.A., History of the Goodricke Family (London, 1885), p. 44Google Scholar.
23 This was most probably one of the sons of Thomas Appleyard of Burstwick Garth and East Halton, who became a professional soldier on the continent. He may have been the Christopher Appleyard who was a captain in Sir Matthew Boynton's trained band regiment in Holderness. His brother Sir Matthew Appleyard became a royalist colonel: BL, Add. MS 28,082, fo. 80v.
24 Lowinger was a Dutch officer who commanded a company of foot in Beverley and Hull, and a troop of horse that accompanied Captain John Hotham into Lincolnshire in April 1643. He was arrested under suspicion of involvement in the Hothams’ conspiracy, but was released and later served as major in Lord Willoughby of Parham's regiment of horse in Lincolnshire: BL, Sloane MS 1,519, fo. 121; TNA, E121/5/7, no. 10; TNA, SP 28/300/441; HHC: C BRS/7/81; CJ, III, pp. 158, 192; LJ, VI, pp. 412–416; BL, TT E124(14), Speciall passages, 18–25 October 1642 (London, 1642), p. 96.
25 John Gifford was a professional soldier from Darlington who had been given an important command in the Bishops' Wars. He served in the Hull garrison before being appointed sergeant-major general to Lord Fairfax's army in the West Riding. He fought at Adwalton Moor but was arrested for treachery in October 1643. He was to have stood trial alongside the Hothams but was exonerated in 1646 and subsequently served in Ireland as captain of Cromwell's lifeguard. For a discussion of his career, see Hopper, A., ‘Black Tom’: Sir Thomas Fairfax and the English revolution (Manchester, 2007), pp. 229, 236Google Scholar.

30 Wedges used for raising and lowering artillery pieces: OED, III, p. 455.
31 This was Robert Overton of Easington, or possibly his father, John Overton, although the latter was captured and imprisoned by the royalists. Robert Overton became a colonel in the New Model Army and was deputy governor of Hull under Sir Thomas Fairfax from 1648: Taft, B., ‘Robert Overton (1608/9–1678/9)’, ODNB; Greaves and Zaller, II, p. 281Google Scholar; TNA, E121/5/5, no. 39; E121/5/7, no. 29; Wildridge, T.

32 These were flat-bottomed vessels used to load more seaworthy ships in estuaries and docks in eastern England between the River Tyne and Norfolk: OED, VIII, p. 367.
33 These soldiers sound like bodyguards. They remained with Sir John Hotham until his flight from Hull on 29 June 1643. One tract reporting Sir John's capture reflected that they were clothed in ‘the same Red Coates which the Earle of Strafford made for his Life-guard’: BL, TT E59(2), A true relation of the discovery of a most desperate and dangerous plot, for the delivering up, and surprising of the townes of Hull and Beverley, 4 July 1643 (London, 1643), p. 5.

37 This included £2-15-00 for odd men and ‘the man that kept the boom’.
38 Fowkes was lieutenant to Captain Lowinger. In May 1642 Fowkes's father-in-law, Thomas Beckwith, met Fowkes at Beverley and offered him £500 in cash and £500 per annum to betray Hull to the King. Fowkes returned to Hull and revealed the plot, and Sir John Hotham ordered him to go along with it. Fowkes was instructed to let the royalists in at the North Gate, and Lowinger to hand over the main guards. The day before this was planned to happen, to avoid bloodshed Hotham wrote to the King, smugly remarking ‘he might spare himself the trouble of carrying on the contrivance’. For further details see Saltmarshe, P., History and Chartulary of the Hothams of Scorborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, 1100–1700 (York, 1914), p. 124Google Scholar.

51 This was a small, light, seaworthy boat, adapted for rowing and sailing, and often attached to a ship and used for purposes of communication and transport: OED, XV, p. 601.
52 This included £0-02-06 for the ‘boom keeper’ and £3-16-08 for odd men.
53 From this week, Captain Appleyard was paid £6-06-00, the same as Major Jefford and Lieutenant-Colonel Legard.
54 This included £2-02-00 for 9 odd men.
55 John Alured of Sculcoates was MP for Hedon in the Long Parliament and had been a captain in Sir Matthew Boynton's trained band regiment in Holderness. He was also a noted religious radical and later a regicide. He left London for Hull on 20 May 1642, where he fell out with the Hothams the same year, supporting the Fairfax family (who commissioned Alured as a colonel) against them: BL, Add.

63 Maccabeus Hollis, a merchant of Hull, later played an important part in the arrest of the Hothams: Tindall Wildridge, The Hull Letters, pp. 152, 156, 158; Tickell, History of Hull, p. 467.

67 Purefoy's company accompanied John Hotham into the West Riding in October 1642 and into Lincolnshire in April 1643, where many reportedly deserted. Purefoy was appointed governor of Lincoln and was arrested along with his brother for plotting to betray the city to the royalists at Newark. They were conveyed to London where, on 11 August 1643, the House of Commons ordered that they should be dealt with by the committee appointed to examine Sir John Hotham. In November 1643 they were delivered to the earl of Essex to be tried by council of war but their fate remains unknown: BL, TT E126(1), Speciall passages, 25 October–1 November 1642 (London, 1642), pp. 103–104; BL, TT E97(9), The kingdomes weekly intelligencer, 11–18 April 1643 (London, 1643), p. 125; BL, TT E249(2), A perfect diurnall of the passages in parliament, 1–8 May 1643 (London, 1643); CJ, III, pp. 86, 202, 303, 309; BL, TT E249(24), A perfect diurnall of the passages in parliament, 3–10 July 1643 (London, 1643), p. 12; BL, TT E59(12), The parliament scout, 29 June–6 July 1643 (London, 1643), p. 14; BL, Harleian MS 165, fo. 107r; Vicars, J., Jehovah-Jireh: God in the Mount or Englands Parliamentarie Chronicle (London, 1644), pp. 372–373Google Scholar; Tickell, History of Hull, p. 464.

69 The companies under Purefoy, Mathews, and Carter were raised by the beat of the drum in London and its suburbs in Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and Surrey during July 1642 for the relief of Hull. Carter's company was subsequently attached to the garrisons at Beverley, Cawood, and Wressle: LJ, V. p. 187; TNA, SP 28/189; BL, TT E60(4), Two letters, the one being intercepted by the parliament's forces which was sent from Sir Hugh Cholmley to Captain Gotherick (London, 1643).

82 The pay for this company included £0-10-00 for a minister, £0-06-00 for the boatman and provost, and £0-03-00 for the boom keeper.
83 Captain Alured probably disbanded his company to take command of a troop of horse.

The troops were established by the following month, with Alured's brother Matthew serving as his lieutenant: TNA, SP 28/1A/17–18; SP 28/261/246–248; SP 28/252/178.

85 The pay for the companies of Appleyard, Lowinger, and Mathews was raised to 6s per man this week, probably because they were drawn out of the garrison for field service under Captain John Hotham.
86 Forces under Captain John Hotham captured Cawood castle on 4 October 1642, from where Hotham signed a declaration against Lord Fairfax's treaty of neutrality: BL, TT E121(21), A true relation of the taking of a great ship at Yarmouth [. . .] Likewise the manner of Master Hothams taking of Keywood castle in Yorkshire (London, 1642); BL, TT E121(32), The declaration of Captain Hotham sent to the parliament (London, 1642); BL, TT E240(36), A perfect diurnall of the passages in parliament, 3–10 October 1642 (London, 1642), p. 8.
