History

West Peckham Preceptory was founded circa 1408 by Sir John Culpeper of Oxon Hoath, West Peckham.[1] It was held by the Knights Hospitallers, and used by them as an administrative centre.[2] The preceptory remained in the possession of the Knights Hospitallers until it was dissolved by King Henry VIII circa 1523. At the time of the dissolution, it was valued at £63 6s 8d and had an income of £60 per annum.[3]
