About 1512 when she was fourteen years old ,she became a Benedictine nun at Yedingham Priory in North Yorkshire.
[1] Local landowner Robert Constable of Flamborough visited Yedingham Priory where he learned about Elizabeth Lutton.
Constable encouraged Thomas Scaseby to elope with Elizabeth Lutton in 1531.
[1] Lutton argued that she had become a nun under duress, and she was therefore free to marry and to inherit her grandfather's lands.
One of these was Elizabeth Sutton, and this is presumed to be Lutton who received 26 shillings and eight pence.
