Master Gunner's charges - Scarborough Castle (1 x PiP + 1 note)

A master gunner lived at Scarborough from at least 1652, at which time there were also eight gunners. Today, the house in which he lived, contains an exhibition on the history of the headland, upon which Scarborough Castle stands.

*Master Gunners were experienced non-commissioned officers who maintained the guns, shot, gunpowder and equipment needed for cleaning, firing and transport.
