Hanborough, Oxford
 |
Harrison: "Walter Culpeper
(1541?-1616) of Handborough, co. Oxon, o. s. p. m. He is
named in his father's will (1559) 'Walter Culpeper my fourth
son.' He seems to have been the first of his family to
matriculate at Hart Hall, Oxford, whence he graduated B. A. in
1569 (Foster). He was also of Grays Inn, 1565 (Foster) and
later was included in the commission of the peace of Oxfordshire.
The other records of him are chiefly in the parish register of
Handborough, co. Oxon, where his brother Martin had acquired an
estate, as appears from his Will." |

Haselden Manor, (Hassell Street?), Kent
|
Haselden. Harrison: "It appears from an
indenture dated 4 January, 21 Henry VIII [1529/30] which has
survived (Harl. Charter, 76 H 12) that Sir John8 left a
will (otherwise lost) disposing of his estates among two sons,
Alexander and Walter, named respectively for their maternal uncle,
Alexander Clifford of Bobbing (thus introducing among the
Culpepers a name which was to appear in Virginia), and for their
grandfather, the Squire of Agincourt. These estates included the
manors acquired by the Bedgebury marriage (Bedgebury and Haselden)
in Kent, an inherited Culpeper manor (Wigsell) in Sussex, and
certain lands in Essex which Sir John had purchased." |

Hampton Court
Palace.(retrieve photo) Hampton Court Palace (a 20
minute cab ride from Heathrow Airport and six miles from Windsor
Castle) was originally built by Thomas, Cardinal Wolsey, during
the reign of Henry VIII. When the issue of the dissolution of the
King's marriage to Catherine of Aragon came about, the Cardinal
saw his favor with the King begin to wane. After the Cardinal made
a comment to the King to the effect of 'anything that I have is
yours', Henry decided that the Cardinal just made a gift of
Hampton Court Palace!
The coat of arms of Catherine Howard appears in
a stained glass window in the Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace.
It has the Howard arms quartered with the Culpeper arms (her
mother having been Joyce Culpeper.) The same coat of arms, with
the quarterings of Howard and Culpeper, appears above the entrance
to the cathedral precinct at Canterbury Cathedral, together with
the coats of arms of Henry's five other wives. (Source: Glen

Saxmundham, Suffolk
Framlingham Castle, near Saxmundham, Suffolk. Here is a
destination worth visiting for many reasons -- genealogical,
history, architecture, setting, even the great pub meals a few yards
from the gate.
The first castle on the site was built by Roger
Bigod, on land he
received from Henry I. The castle seen today was begun some years
later, in 1190, by another Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk. An
earlier fortification had been destroyed after being forfeited by
Roger's father to King Henry II (for being part of the rebellion of
1173-74).
Framlingham has massive curtain walls 40 feet high and eight feet
thick, sectioned by 13 towers, and surrounded by deep ditches. It is
a good walk all the way around. For many years the castle was owned
by the Howard family. It was here that Mary Tudor waited out the
Lady Jane Grey crisis in 1553, and gathered her support, leaving
from Framlingham on her triumphal journey to London.
Years later, the Howard family sold the castle to Sir Robert
Hitcham, and when he died in 1636 he left it to Pembroke College,
Cambridge. The building on the site of the old great hall was built
during these times and subsequently served as the parish poorhouse
until it was closed in the 1830s. Now it houses the castle office
and gift shop of English Heritage, which maintains the site.
Framlingham is a fascinating place, whether or not you include
Howard or Hitcham or Bigod in your family tree. It played many parts
on the national and local stage. There is an audio tour to enhance
the visual impact -- with 28 points of interest on the walls and in
the castle yard. Some English Heritage sites are open year round,
and this is one of them (picture,
hours, etc.)

later style, of English architecture; with a lofty spire, noted as
