Stephen de Pencester was Warden of the Cinque Ports when the first authoritative list of Cinque Ports Confederation Members was produced in 1293.
Stephen de Penecestre was Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports for 32 years, his tenure finishing in 1299 when the Baron de Burghersh was elected; it is reasonable to assume he began his administration in 1267.
An effigy of Stephen de Pencester is on display in Penshurst village's St John the Baptist church, in the Sidney family chapel, and Stephen owned Penshurst Place estate before the Baron's Hall was built by the new owner of the estate Sir John De Pulteney in 1341.
