Colepeper / Culpeper Cloth
The church is best known for the centuries-old 'Culpeper cloth' sometimes described as an altar cloth although it is probably too large to have served that function; several books attribute it to the four daughters of Sir John Culpeper, Lord of Greenway Court.
Hollingbourne Manor, a former home of members of the Culpeper family, is a Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, located at the foot of Hollingbourne Hill.

Famous quotes containing the word cloth:
“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
