Biography* The Coleper of Aylesford pedigree states that Peter was "Mentioned 1399, and 1411 seized of the Manors of Blechenden (in Headcorn) and Bressyng [location unknown], according to an undated Chancery Proceeding".
      A signifcant amount of remodeling was done circa 1450 in the church of Headcorn, and in this period, the Culpeper arms were placed over the west doorway and on a tomb in the south wall just outside the Lady Chapel. The arms are described as "On a silver field a red engrailed bend with a crescent (on one of the shields) for cadency (second son)". Most likely, the arms and tomb are that of Peter Culpeper, who appears to have been either the second or third son of Sir John Culpeper of Oxenhoath.
