Meanwhile Christopher Ashton had also re-married. His new wife was another Katherine, the widow of Thomas Warneford of Sevenhampton, a village fifteen miles south-west of Fyfield and just over the county boundary in Wiltshire. He quickly became embroiled in his new wife’s estatesand they took to the court of star chamber, John Wameford, John Cheyney, Thomas Yate and others over a riot and seizure of her property in Sevenhampton.“ Meanwhile, rioting also took place at Ashton’s manor of Philbertis, in Hanney, and again involved Cheyney and Yate together with several others including a priest. Once more Ashton resorted to the star chamber for redress and his bill details the attack. The answer to these charges and other documents are sadly not extant so it is not possible to learn more of the circumstances of the incident. What is evident, however, is Ashton’s apparent natural ability to upset his neighbours!25

Katherine Ashton, however, was not to forget Loveden’s treachery. In 1565, together with her new husband, Robert Temple, she brought a bill of complaint against him in an attempt to recover some of her former husband’s property.“
