Sir Roger Copley, Knight

Sir Roger Copley was the eldest son of Sir Roger Copley of Roughway (historic), in Sussex, by Jane Hoo, dau. and co-heiress of Thomas Lord Hoo and Hastings. He was married first to Jane Lode, dau. of Henry Lode of Kingsley, Hants; and secondly, in Leigh Church, to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Shelley, who was the oldest brother of Edward Shelley (of Fyndon, mentioned in wife Elizabeth's will).

The family of Copley seem to have been connected with this part of Surrey (Leigh Place Estate area) , as the prior and convent of Lewes presented the Rev. Edward Copley to the rectory of Merstham in 1488, and Catharine of Aragon presented the Rev. Robert Copley to the rectory of Walton-on-the-Hill of which he was deprived in 1561. Roger Copley was High Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in 1514, and again as Sir Roger Copley, in 1529.
