John was citizen and Draper of London. A Squire of Henry VI, by whom he was commisioned in the year 1455 to convey the Garter and Robes of the order of Alphonso, King of Portugal. Seems to have amassed much wealth during his residence in London, partly derived, no doubt, from his marriage with the widow of John Horne, Alderman of London. He died in 1464, leaving his manors of East Shefford, Berks, and New Langport, Kent, to his eldest son Richard, and considerable sums of money to all his children.

John Fettiplace’s will of 22 August 1464 provided ￡40 to repair the church [at East Shefford], to build the wooden steeple and to build an enclosure around the tombs of his father and mother. There are a number of sixteenth century windows. Despite the church’s diminutive size, we can see the remains of a rood loft. It is a surprisingly long way forward of the chancel arch. One imagines that space for the congregation was not a great challenge here! http://greatenglishchurches.co.uk/html/east_shefford.html
