| Description |
In 1425 Walter Culpeper married Agnes Roper, widow of John Bedgebury, and the Bedgebury estate came into the Culpeper family. Walter died in 1462 and has a monumental brass in the church. Their son Sir John Culpeper, d 1480 and his wife were interred in the arched tomb in the church. A brass shows him in armour, but the brass of his wife and children is missing. It is thought this may have been used as an Easter sepulchre. Their son Sir Alexander, d 1541 "The Olde Sir Alexander" used his iron foundries in Bedgebury to cast guns for the fleet that fought the Spanish Armada. He and his wife, Constance are commemorated in a wooden painted effigy in the church. It was carved and painted in 1537 during the Reformation, and is one of only eighty or so of its kind in the country. |
