The Admiralty was long held at Deptford, in "The Gun Tavern" — a house previously the residence of the earl of Nottingham, lord admiral to queen Elizabeth. This tablet was the chimney piece of the Board room, which had a window with a balcony fronting to the Thames, bearing the arms of sir Thomas Howard, K.G., earl of Surrey, and afterwards duke of Norfolk, who in April, 1514, succeeded his brother sir Edward, the first lord high admiral; who was appointed by indenture, dated the eighth of April, 1512, with an allowance of ten shillings a day for his own maintenance, wages, and rewards; and killed at Conquest, the twenty-fourth of April, 1514.

This tablet, which is six ft. one in. wide, and four ft. three inches in height, is of oak. The carved figures (male and female) are gilded, and also the lion’s head, with the flowers or pateras in the triangular compartments and mouldings, immediately surrounding the four panels. The top ones contain drawings or plates of the Henry Grace de Dieu, built by Henry the eighth, at Woolwich. One panel shews that ship afloat; and in the other, are projected the various shipwright’s lines and sheer plane of the same vessel.

In the compartment to the left, is the following inscription written in gold:- "Soon after his accession to the throne, Henry the VIII., settled the present constitution of the Royal Navy Offices."

In the opposite panel, is the inscription as under, also written in gold:- "In the Spring of 1514, the lord high admiral entered the Port of Brest, with forty-two ships of war, and some small vessels; where he found the French fleet protected within the harbour by batteries, and a range of twenty-four hulks linked together; whilst there, Monsieur Pregent, arrived in the bay of Conquest, with six gallies and four boats, which he secured between two rocks, well furnished with ordinance. Nevertheless, the lord high admiral resolved to attack them, and having prepared two gallies and four boats, he embarked in one of the gallies, which he laid alongside of Monsieur Pregent, and himself headed the boarders; but his galley, by accident, swinging off before she could be lashed, and when only seventeen of his men had been able to follow him, he was killed the 24th of April, 1514."

The moulding surrounding the coat of arms and the shield are properly blazoned.
