[1] The Bishop summoned the cleric Matthew Redemane, her father and several notables to swear to her good character and virginity.

[2] Within a month, the Bishop had agreed and she was ceremoniously led to her cell on the north side of the chancel at the church in Shere.

[2] An anchoress was to have her hair cut every three months and wear a veil and a habit; this presumably applied to Carpenter.

[3] This window would have been made too small for her to leave and its purpose would have been to allow her to be fed and watered, and for her bodily wastes to be removed.

It is not known what happened to Carpenter after this date, but the usual practice was to bury anchorites where they had lived and died.

Sir Arnold Wesker wrote a play called Caritas based, in part, on this story.
