Walter Colepeper (b. 1398, d. 12 Dec 1462)
Walter Colepeper (son of Thomas Culpeper and Joyce Baynard) was born 1398 in Goudhurst, Kent, England, and died 12 Dec 1462 in Goudhurst, Kent, England. He married Agnes Roper on 1411 in Bayhall, Pembury, Kent, England.
Notes for Walter Colepeper:

BIOGRAPHY: Of the sons of Sir Thomas Colepeper, Walter succeeded to all the estates except Exton on the death of his half-brother, Sir John, and was the only one to leave sons....Walter Colepeper, who continued the line, married Agnes, the daughter of Edmund Roper, of St. Dunstans, Canterbury, and is so described on her tombstone at Goudhurst. She was also the widow of John, son of John de Bedgebury, a fact not mentioned in the pedigrees recorded in the Visitations, but which is amply evidenced by an undated Chancery Procceding, temp. Hen. VI., where Walter Coulpepir and Agneis, his wife, late the wife of John, son of John de Beggebury and Thomas Chaundeler, chaplain, appear as plaintiffs in a dispute relating to property in Goudhurst, Cranbrook and Hawkhurst, which John, son of Roger de Beggebury, left to pay for two chaplains to sing masses for his soul and for that of Johanna, his wife. By this marriage Walter Colepeper had, with two daughters--Margaret, married to Alexander Clifford, and Elizabeth, married to John Hardes, of Hardes, co. Kent--three sons, Richard, John and Nicholas. Agnes, his wife, predeceased him on the 2nd December, 1457, and was buried at Goudhurst, and Walter himself died on the 24th November, 1462, and was also buried at Goudhurst..Although the pedigree given above differs in many respects from those recorded in the Visitation, it is substantiated not only by many Inquisitions, Deeds and Grants, but also by a suit entered on membrane 484 of the De Banco Roll, Hilary, 4 Edward IV., whence the following pedigree is deduced:...John Culpeper(5)....Thomas Culpeper(6)......Thomas Culpeper(7)......Walter Culpeper(7)........John Culpeper(8) ........Richard Culpeper(8) ........Nicholas Culpeper(8) ......John Culpeper(7)......Nicholas Culpeper(7).This suit has reference to the fine levied in 1320, the John at the head of the pedigree being the son of Sir Thomas and Margery, and the plaintiffs, John, Richard and Nicholas Colepeper, claiming one quarter of these lands against Sir John Fogge, according to the customs of gavelkind, in right of their father Walter..Although Richard is entered in the Visitation in Kent, in 1619, as Walter Colepeper's eldest son, this was not the case, as Sir John, as the eldest son, inherited Hardreshull, co. Warwick, Bayhall, co. Kent, and Wigsell, co. Sussex. It appears also from the same Visitation that this Sir John married Agnes, daughter of John Bedgebury, but no mention whatever is there made of the undoubted fact that some time before 1460 he was the husband of Agnes Gainsford, which is clearly proved by the Proceedings in Chancery relating to the abduction of the two Wakehurst heiresses by Sir John's brothers, Richard and Nicholas, where it is expressly stated that a sister of John and William Gainsford was wedded to John Culpepyr, and later on in the same suit mention is made of John Culpeper and Agnes, his wife. The marriage is also alluded to in De Banco Roll, Trin., 5 Edward IV., m. 118d, and it explains the mention of Ottewell and George Gainsford (grandsons of the above John Gainsford, who married Anne Wakehurst, aunt of the co-heiresses, and sons of Sir John Gainsford, by Anne, daughter of Ottewell Worsley), as cousins in the will Walter Colepeper, of Calais, 1514--1516..The question arises, therefore, as to whether the record of Sir John's marriage with Agnes Bedgebury is not due to a mistake on the part of the heralds. In their pedigree they certainly omit these two important facts, viz., that before 1460 Sir John was the husband of Agnes Gainsford, and also that his father Walter's wife, of the same Christian name, was the widow of John Bedgebury. It seems therefore not improbable that these two marriages have been confused; such, indeed, must have been the case unless Sir John was twice married, and of this the Visitation affords no evidence whatever. Sir John Colepeper died 22nd December, 1480, and was buried at Goudherst..Source: Col. F. W. T. Attree, "The Sussex Colepepers".-----------------------At the time of their check at the hands of Edward II, the Culpepers seem to have recently inaugurated their characteristic practice of land acquisition by the time honored expedient of marrying heiresses. It was from their first manor so acquired, that of Bayhall in the Kentish parish of Pembury on the southern border of the weald, that they spread, as Hasted remarks, 'over the whole face of the county' of Kent; and, we may add, eventually of adjacent Sussex as well..In this process, the Walter Culpeper who fought at Agincourt, being of the seventh recorded generation of his family, put his roots in the ground a few miles southeast of Bayhall. About 1425 he married the widow of the last Bedgebury of Bedgebury in Goudhurst and was buried with that family in Goudhurst church. His tomb described him as 'arm. filius Thorne Culpeper militis... obiit 24 November 1462' (Weever, Antient Funeral Monuments, 1767 ed., p. 69); which identifies him genealogically as the Walter, son of Thomas, who himself left sons, John, Richard and Nicholas, as rehearsed in DeBanco Roll, 4 Edw. IV, Hilary Term, membrane 484..Source: Fairfax Harrison, "The Proprietors of the Northern Neck"2

It is not know for certain if Lady Margaret is buried in St. Mary's "however as her husband Sir Nicholas is buried in the church is would seem very likely that she is buried in in the church"

Nicholas & Margaret Tufton were the great great grandparents of John Tufton 2nd Earl of Thannet, he married Lady Margaret Sackville who's ancestors were the earls of Dorset & the Tudor & Plantagenet line of the throne of England this line is through John Tufton Aug 1519 – 16 Oct 1567 whom I have marked in blue, see end of family tree for an extensive genealogy which shows our connection to the Sackville's & the Noble & Royal genealogy of Margate Sackville wife of our common ancestor John Tufton 2nd Earl of Thanet.

Also Nicholas & Margaret's Great Grandson Nicholas Tufton 1557 – 30th June 1632 married Francis Cecil who was the Daughter of Sir Thomas Cecil Earl of Exeter & the Granddaughter of William Cecil Lord Burghley Treasurer of England to Queen Elizabeth Tudor 1st.

Margaret the daughter & heir of John Hever of Cranbrook Kent, John Hever was a descendant of the Hever's of Kent & the founders of Hever castle which later became the home of Sir Thomas Bullen the father of Ann Boleyn wife of Henry the 8th. The Hever's line of descent before John Hever is unknown but an early ancestor from who John Hever would have descended is Walter de HEVER, first owner of Hever Castle, whose 1211 contemporary Hughe de HEVER bore arms "Gerv., A playn Crosse Arg., a Labell of 5 Azur." William de HEVER, Sheriff in the reign of Edward I, became owner of Hever Castle in 1270, the year the Gatehouse was constructed. Ownership then passed to Thomas de HEVER in 1300, William de HEVER in 1340, and in 1360 to Joan de HEVER, who married Sir Reginald de COBHAM. Passing through eight more proprietors, in 1505 Hever Castle became the home of Sir Thomas BULLEN, and of daughter Anne BOLEYN - the second wife of Henry VIII. Upon the death of Sir Thomas BULLEN, Hever Castle reverted to the Crown, and Henry granted ownership to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, as part of the divorce settlement in 1540.
