After Cromwell’s death, when the Restoration was approaching, “the Lord Tichborne” was appointed one of a large committee to arrange for a banquet to the Lord General Monk and his lady, which took place on the 5th April, 1660. The following entry refers to this occasion:—
“Paid for a dynner, April Vth, for the Lord Generall Moncke, the Councell of State, and the Feild Officers

In May following the Company provided £504 towards a present from the City to the King and the Dukes of York and Gloucester: and various other sums were paid in connection with the reception of Charles II, including “the interteynement of his Matie to a Feast att Guildehall.” The change of circumstances is further attested by the following entries:—
“1660–61. Paid the vergers att Poulis, Januarye 30, being a daye of humiliation

In the autumn of the year 1660 Tichborne was tried as a regicide by the Special Commission, and sentenced to death, but was not executed. His property was, however, confiscated, and he passed the remainder of his life in confinement, and died a prisoner in the Tower of London in 1682.
