Here's one more, in Common Pleas, though I don't know how relevant he might be,

1477 Knyfe, John, of Penne, laborer

third entry, John Wylcokkys, plaintiff

Since Penne is just three miles from High Wycombe, he might be connected. I'm not sure how high status a courser or horse trader might be, closer to a merchant or a peddler?
