The '''Treasurer of the Navy''' was an office in the [[Great Britain|British]] government between the mid-16th and early 19th century. The office-holder was responsible for the financial maintenance of the [[Royal Navy]]. The office was a political appointment, and frequently was held by up-and-coming young politicians who would later go on to hold more important positions. The post was abolished in 1836 and its functions incorporated into those of the [[Paymaster-General]]. |

Originally established in 1524, the first holder of the post was [[William Gonson]]; he held the office for twenty years until 1544.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hill Miller|first=Helen |title=Captains from Devon: the great Elizabethan seafarers who won the oceans for England|date=1985|publisher=Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill|isbn=9780912697277|page=[https://archive.org/details/captainsfromdevo0000mill/page/33 33]|url=https://archive.org/details/captainsfromdevo0000mill/page/33}}</ref> Although a member of the board, his office was semi-autonomous. The office-holder was responsible for the direction and control of the finance of the [[Royal Navy]]. The office was a political appointment and frequently was held by up-and-coming young politicians who would later go on to hold more important positions. Before 1832 all accounts were dealt with by a number of different offices and officials. The Treasurer of the Navy originated during the reign of [[Henry VIII]]. He was the senior member of the Navy Board responsible for all Navy accounts; he gradually withdrew during the seventeenth century from the board's day-to-day affairs and his office, and the Navy Pay Office, came to be regarded as entirely separate from the Navy Office. The Treasurer of the Navy survived the re-organisational changes of 1832, but the office was abolished in 1835 and its duties were transferred to the [[Paymaster General|Paymaster General's]]' Office. |

The Treasurer of the Navy,[1] originally called Treasurer of Marine Causes[2] or Paymaster of the Navy,[3] was a civilian officer of the Royal Navy, one of the principal commissioners of the Navy Board responsible for naval finance[4] from 1524 to 1832. The treasurer was based at the Navy Pay Office.
History[edit]
Originally established in 1524, the first holder of the post was William Gonson; he held the office for twenty years until 1544.[5] Although a member of the board, his office was semi-autonomous. The office-holder was responsible for the direction and control of the finance of the Royal Navy. The office was a political appointment and frequently was held by up-and-coming young politicians who would later go on to hold more important positions. Before 1832 all accounts were dealt with by a number of different offices and officials. The Treasurer of the Navy originated during the reign of Henry VIII. He was the senior member of the Navy Board responsible for all Navy accounts; he gradually withdrew during the seventeenth century from the board's day-to-day affairs and his office, and the Navy Pay Office, came to be regarded as entirely separate from the Navy Office. The Treasurer of the Navy survived the re-organisational changes of 1832, but the office was abolished in 1835 and its duties were transferred to the Paymaster General's' Office.
