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).

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.
