Cheney CulpeperSir Cheney Culpeper[1] (1601 – 1663) was an English landowner, a supporter of Samuel Hartlib[2], and a largely non-political figure of his troubled times[3], interested in technological progress and reform. Additional recommended knowledge
LandownerAfter a legal training[4], he was knighted in 1628. He had an estate at Great Wigsell, but only briefly[5]. He owned Leeds Castle, in Kent, given to him by his father Sir Thomas Culpeper[6]. He also bought Elmley[7] Being later disinherited, he became heavily indebted. Hartlib circleOf the Hartlibians, he had most to do with Benjamin Worsley. He was interested in alchemy[8], but most of all in agricultural topics[9]. While on the Parliamentarian side, he was a moderate, against the more theocratic tendencies[10]. He had contacts in Parliament[11][12]; but insufficient clout to make a real difference to the attitude to Hartlib's projects[13]. References
