Biography

The report of the Visitation of Hertfordshire which was carried out in 1634 states that Sir George Coppin was the son of George Coppin, who built the Cross in Dunwich, Suffolk. Sir George was, in addition, the Clerk of the Crown.

The children of Sir George and Lady Anne were listed during the Visitation as William, Robert, George and Thomas; the first three of these died without issue.

Thomas Coppin, son of Sir George Coppin acquired Markyate. Thomas by will dated 8 December, 1662, left £400 in trust for the purchase of a house in Markyate Street to serve as a schoolhouse. He was succeeded in 1663 by his second son John, (who in fulfilment of his father's will purchased a messuage called the 'Mermaid' in Markyate Street for the purposes of a school.[1]
