La armadura Cumberland, la mejor conservada y más completa armadura adaptable de los Talleres Reales de Greenwich, marca el apogeo técnico y decorativo de esa escuela. Diseñada para ser usada tanto en el campo de batalla como en torneos, fue fabricada bajo la dirección del maestro armero Jacob Halder. Comprende la armadura del hombre (que pesa 27 kg), con diversos elementos intercambiables y de refuerzo; y la armadura del caballo, consistente en una testera (protección de la cabeza) y dos flanqueras. George Clifford era un favorito de la reina Isabel I que fue nombrado Campeón de la Reina en 1590. La decoración de esta armadura incluye la rosa Tudor, la flor de lis, y el monograma de Isabel (dos «E» contrapuestas).
