Heraldic achievement of Roper, Baron Teynham[2]
Baron Teynham, of Teynham in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1616 for Sir John Roper. The family seat is Pylewell Park, near Lymington, Hampshire.
In 1788, the 14th Baron Teynham inherited his distant cousin’s John Barnewall Curzon’s wealth and estate at Water Perry, Northamptonshire when he died. Thus he adopted, by royal licence, the additional surname of Curzon. Despite not being descended from the Curzon family,[2][3] his descendants, such as John Roper-Curzon, the 21st Baron, and the present baron, still go by their full surname of 'Roper-Curzon'.
