Before being moved to the Tower of London, where were the Crown Jewels housed?

My reading suggests that, as the Crown Jewels, they have always been housed at the Tower of London. Most of them date back to the Restoration (17th century). May 13 03, 4:49 PM

The Crown Jewels have been housed in the Tower of London since 1303 following a theft from Westminster Abbey. http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page450.asp May 13 03, 5:32 PM

Even before the keep at Westminster Abbey, they were kept in a locked trunk, under the charge of the Lord Chamberlain I believe. This was in the days of Edward the Confessor when an English Regalia set was first assembled. May 28 04, 4:08 PM
