Notes:

In 1714 she tied with Ann Throckmorton to be superior but won in a draw of 'beans and peas'.

Her father, who was killed fighting for the royalists in the Civil War, was patron of the martyr, Fr Ambrose Barlow OSB (ODNB).

She succeeded Eugenia Perkins as superior, Perkins advising the sisters to elect her.

On 16 Jul 1708 there were huge celebrations to mark the tenth anniversary of her being superior and her jubilee of 50 years since her clothing. On 4 Sep 1708 a stone statue of St Augustine was placed at the east-end of the garden which she paid to have made with gifts she had received at her jubilee.

Her patron was St Paul.
