She was very wealthy, heiress to “Workington” Hall and huge mining intersects. She attracting many wealthy suitors, and her trustees humored her with such gifts and the island in the middle of Windermere, eventually named “Belle Island.” She had always had a strong affection for her “prodigious” cousin, John and despite being sent away to school in London, her guardians had been unable to keep the two apart, and they ran away to Scotland to marry, later resanctifying the marriage in the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene in Bermondsey.
