| Description |
Sir John Roper (1535-1618) shown with his wife Elizabeth, with kneeling son Christopher and daughters Elizabeth and Jane opposite. A fine crest on top bears the family motto "Spes mea in Deo" - My hope is in God. He was a distinguished Knight, Lord and Baron of Teynham. In fact he purchased his Barony for £10,000 - a vast sum in those days. The memorial says: "He cultivated all that was fair and good and was a loyal servant to three monarchs, Mary, Elizabeth and James. He set up his own memorial whilst living". He married a second wife, about whom there is some degree of uncertainty, neither the exact date of their marriage, nor that of her death, being known. Her name was Elizabeth, daughter of John Dyon of Tathwell, Lincolnshire. She was a widow (her first husband having been Robert Nonson, sometime Judge of the Common Pleas, died 24th September 1583) at the time of her marriage, before 4th April 1584, to John Roper. She bore him no children, and died some time before 1593. |
