John was among the first purchasers of the newly created title of baronet in 1611,but whether he could really afford the honour is questionable. His grandson Thomas stated that his father Edward had inherited an insupportable burden of debt which could explain why Edward began to sell off the family estates within a few years of inheritiing and why John in his will of 1615 chose to limit the wearing of black at his funeral to his immediate family and household servants. He hoped that his friends would not object to this arrangement, as he could not pay for them all to wear funeral garb, and ‘if one have and another have not there will be unkindness and exceptions against it’. Peyton’s decision to appoint his 19-year-old unmarried daughter Susan as his executrix also hints at financial difficulties, as presumably he feared that if he made Sir Edward his executor Susan would not get the full dowry to which she was entitled.The cause of Peyton’s financial problems is unknown, but university fees for 3 sons and dowries for 5 daughters, coupled with the extravagance of a baronetcy did not help, . John's decision to deny his son Edward the right to execute his will and to prevent him from exercising any say in the choice of husband for Susan - a duty which was fixed on Lord Rich instead - may have opened up a rift between father and son. Shortly before his death, Peyton appended a codicil to his will, in which he spitefully ordered Edward to pay the £120 ‘which he oweth me for the board and diet of his first wife’.
He was buried, in accordance with his wishes, in the south chapel here "‘where many of mine ancestors lie and are entombed". This was subsequently erected, presumably by a forgiving Edward.
