| - Affabel Partridge was a London goldsmith who served Elizabeth I. Partridge was an apprentice of Richard Crompton. He worked at the sign of the Black Bull in Cheapside. On 25 July 1560, Partridge was employed to repair and reset old jewels from the Tower of London into a "better fashion" for Queen Elizabeth to wear from time to time, meet and suitable for her occasional use. The pieces for refashioning were "fifty tablets of sundry fashion tied upon a string whereof diverse have pomanders within them", and broken nether and upper habiliments (the jewelled bands which were worn at the forehead of a French hood), with aglets and their laces and pins. Partridge was to pay attention to the enamelling. The aged Marquess of Winchester was ordered to deliver the jewels to the goldsmith. Partridge is better known for making and supplying gilt silver plate and vessels. He and another goldsmith, Robert Brandon, supplied gilt plate to Elizabeth I for New Year's Day gifts and repaired tableware in 1558. In September 1560 they received 4000 ounces of silver plate scrapped from the Jewel House as unfit to serve at the queen's table, to be melted down and made into new objects. Partridge and Brandon were permitted to collect base money for refining at the royal mint in October 1560. Partridge sued Edward Baeshe of West Coker for the value of a garter set with rubies and pearls in 1565. Baeshe had paid for a gold flower set with diamonds and pearls. "Aphabelle Partridge" subscribed to a general lottery in 1568, and wrote this verse: If hawk do soar and partridge springs,Then shall we see what luck he brings,But if he soar and partridge flit,Then hawk shall lose and partridge hit. In 1576 Partridge supplied three gilt salts with "a cover of the French making". "Affabell Partrydge" signed the vestry minutes of Stepney parish twice in 1583 and probably died in that year. Partridge lent money to a goldbeater Robert Mabbe, a son of the goldsmith John Mabbe, taking as security a share of the Tabard Inn, Southwark. Partridge and Brandon were succeeded as royal goldsmiths by Richard Martin and Hugh Kayle. (en)
