This is a list of Keepers of the Records in the Tower of London . The position was medieval in origin, and ended in 1838 with the creation of the London
Public Record Office .
In the 16th century the distinction was made between
Chancery Rolls from the reign of
Richard III onwards, which were under the direct control of the
Master of the Rolls , and earlier Rolls that were kept in the
Tower of London , with a designated Keeper. The Masters of the Rolls wished to keep at least a theoretical control over the Keepers, but until 1604 and a judgement against
Sir Roger Wilbraham there was no case law to support the claim.
