West Farleigh Hall

Several of the Aylesford Culpepers were associated with West Farleigh.

According to parish registers, John Culpeper (1560-?), son of Edward (who buried at West Farleigh) and Parnilla (daughter and heiress of Thomas Coveney of West Farleigh), had four children baptized at West Farleigh: Diana in 1592, Edward in 1593. John in 1595 and Robert in 1596.

West Farleigh Hall, marked on the map as an antiquity, needs to be researched to see if it might have been a Culpeper home. It may have originally belonged to the Coveney's and possibly came to the Culpepers through Edward Culpeper's marriage to Parnilla, heiress of Thomas Coveney.
