 Tradition. Associated with the tomb of Sir Thomas Colepepper (effigy), ob. 1604 (Fig. 1642).

At Aylesford still stands an old barn with "T.C." and a date upon it. A Thomas Colepepper was a judge in the reign of John and held the manor of Aylesford. The family disappeared from Aylesford in 1723 on the death of a daughter of Sir John Colepepper, who was buried here.
