He was commissioner for militia for Leicestershire from March 1660. In April 1660, he became a freeman of Leicester and was elected Member of Parliament for Leicester in the Convention Parliament. He was commissioner for assessment for Leicestershire from August 1660 to 1669. He was Sheriff of Leicestershire from 1662 to 1663.[1]
Armeston died unmarried at the age of about 78 as his will was proved in May 1685.[1]
