Notes for Stephen Curteys
Of Appledore.104 Born around 1380 according to the Curteis pedigree written in about 1612, and now in the National Archives.
Other early Curteises105:
On Aug 4th, 1361, Edward, the Black Prince, founded 2 Chantries in the Under Croft of Canterbury Cathedral & named a John Curteys as one of the first Chantry priests. In a manor Court roll of Brookland of the year 1397 to 1401 the name of John Curthose appears.
During the reign of Henry 6th (1422-1461), William Curteis was Abbot of Bury St. Edmonds, the campanile or bell tower of which he repaired. In 1433 he entertained Henry VI, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Court, for several months at his abbey. He died in 1445 (vide Dugdale’s Monasticon).757 His arms appear to be the same as those borne by the Curteis family to this day.
A family of Curtehose or Curteys held lands in or near "The Manor", Kent, from early in the reign of Edward I.
In the Diocesan Probate Office in Canterbury is the Will of Stephen Curteys of Brookland dated Feb 8th 1461, the 1st year of Edward 4th's reign. In the roof of Canterbury Cathedral Cloisters are the Curteis arms several times repeated. The compartments in which they are (numbered from the Martyrdom westwards) are 23, 26, 445, 446, 455, 536, 537. All the subscribers to rebuilding the [?] were apparently commemorated by their arms being introduced as ornaments. The Cloisters were built between 1390 and 1411. The Curteis arms were also placed in windows in the Churches of Chilham and New Nomrey [?] about the same time, & have always been considered to be those of Stephen Curteys of Appledore & Brookhaven.
