Wilton began her long career as a nun before 14 February 1373 as on that day she was promoted to be a cellarer which was a position of some responsibility at Carrow Abbey.
The dispute was with Robert de Burnham, Prior of Holy Trinity (1407–1427) of County Norwich.
The Prior further stated that Carrowe was in the parish of Bracondale which is in the County of Norfolk and was never in the City of Norwich.
The court ruled in favor of Wilton stating that Carrow was a parcel of the City of Norwich.
[3] Wilton also won litigation where she and another nun were accused of harbouring the murderers of William Koc of Trowse by his widow.
