Eliza Lodwick became a widow only 15 months after they were married.
She never married again and remained a widow until her death.
For about 35 years Widow Lodwick managed Lambourne Hall and other properties from 1826 to 1861. Sometimes she is at other locations.
~ Loftmans in Canewdon parish
Loftmans was the main home of the Kersteman’s family, it was in Canewdon parish. It was where Eliza Lodwick's father, Jeremiah Kersteman Sr. had his family and then her brother Colonel Jeremiah Kersteman Junior took over Loftmans after the death of his father.
~ Lambourne Hall in Canewdon parish
Lambourne Hall was the home of Jeremiah Kersteman Lodwick and his wife Eliza Frost Kersteman.
~ Wick Farm
This was another property that Widow Lodwick owned.
From the book, “The History of Rochford Hundred” by Philip Benton:
Page 107
The “Wick Farm” at one time was the property of Thomas Laver, of Prittlewell Temple, and was purchased by Eliza Frost, widow of Jeremiah Kersteman Lodwick, at whose death in 1861, it was sold to Richard Catlow Bowden, who bequeathed it to his widow.”
~ 8, Royal Terrace, Southend
This place seems to be also a main place of residence to the Lodwick and Kersteman families. Seem like they spent more time at Southend than at Lambourne Hall in the later part of the 1850's and early 1860's.
~ 1828
Eliza Lodwick's sister, Mary Ann Kersteman, married Rev. William Atkinson on Monday 3 March 1828.
From the newspaper, The Ipswich Journal, Saturday 8 March 1828:
Monday was married, the Rev. W. Atkinson, A. M. Vicar of Canewdon, in this county, to Miss Kersteman, of Loftmans.
Eliza and her sister, Mary Ann, knew Rev. William Atkinson for years since he and his first wife were probably frequent dinner guests at the manors of Loftmans and Lambourne Hall, both in Canewdon, Essex.
The Rev. Atkinson knew their father Jeremiah Kersteman, Sr. and then their brother the Colonel Jeremiah Kersteman, Jr.
And when Rev. Atkinson's first wife died, she chosen Mary Ann Kersteman to be his next wife.
A good choice since the Kerstemans and Lodwicks were wealthy and well connected.

~ 1835
At the Essex Quarter Sessions, Stephen Catchpole, John Stags, and William Crow were convicted in the stealing and killing of a sheep from Mrs. E. F. Lodwick of Canewdon, Essex in 1835. William Crow was actually convicted of receiving mutton from Catchpole and Stags while knowing that it was stolen.
From the newspaper, The Essex Standard, Friday, 10 April 1835:
Essex Quarter Sessions.
Criminal Court.
“Stephen Catchpole, 22, and John Stags, laborers, committed 13th March, by J. Lodwick, Clerk, charged with killing, with intent to steal, a wether sheep, the property of Mrs. Kersterman Lodwick, at Canewdon.
William Crow, 43, laborer, committed 12th March, charged with having received a quantity of the mutton knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. E. F. Lodwick has a farm at Canewdon, where, on the night of the 9th, were several sheep. The next morning it was discovered that one was missing, and the skin, entrails, head and feet were found in one of Mrs. L.'s fields, there was a quantity of blood upon the ground, which appeared as if a sheep had been killed there.
The footsteps of two persons were discovered in which a peculiarity was noticed. In the heel of one of the pairs the half of a tip was off, and a few nails were missing from the other pair of footsteps.
The marks were traced four miles, by Wm. Willingham, a servant of Mrs. L.'s, to the prisoner (Crow's) cottage, at Hawkwell; it had rained the preceding night, and froze in the morning, which had hardened the footsteps. On entering Crow's cottage, Willingham examined the shoes of the prisoners, and observed that they corresponded with the marks which they had traced.
Catchpole and Stags, who were in the cottage, acknowledged that they belonged to them. The shoes were afterwards found to correspond with the marks exactly. Crow's house was searched on the 10th, and upon his being questioned respecting the robbery, he at first denied having any knowledge of it; he, however, afterwards told the constable he would show him where the mutton was, and proceeded to a wood near his house, where part of the mutton was found.
The frock of Stags and the trowsers of Catchpole were found spotted with blood, which had apparently been washed for the purpose of removing the spots. It was found that Crow's wife gave a portion of the mutton to a woman named Grey, and requested that she would throw it into the wood as she passed, which she did.
Crow also, whilst they were searching the house, said, "d - d if we a'nt done."
- Guilty. Catchpole and Stags transported for life. Crow fourteen years transportation.
These people of course were guilty of what they did. But the kind of sentencing was very harsh. It was common for back then.
Probably the labourers for miles around would know of this incident and it probably brought on more intense dislike or hatred of Widow Lodwick.
~ 1839
George Warner, age 16, was killed in an accidential death at Lambourne Hall farm in January 1839. An inquest was held to investigate the case.
From the newspaper, The Essex Standard, Friday 25 January 1839:
Chelmsford.
Fatal Accident at Canewdon. - On Wednesday, the 9th inst. an inquest was held before W. Codd, Esq. one of the county coroners, at the Crown and Anchor, in Canewdon, to enquire as to the cause of the death of George Warner, aged 16 years.
It appeared in evidence that the deceased and William Green were employed in cutting chaff in a shed at Lambourne Hall Farm, in that parish. The deceased, who was engaged in driving the horse to turn the wheel of the machine, imprudently got upon the draughts to ride, and was struck against the beam with so much violence, as to cause his immediate death.
- Verdict - Accidential death; deodand on the wheel is.
~ 1820’s to 1840’s ~ the Autumn of the Witches
As we know from above Eliza Frost Lodwick's, husband, Jeremiah Kersteman Lodwick, died back in 1826 and that she never married again.
Widow Eliza Frost Lodwick managed Lambourne Hall and other properties with its combined 500 acres for the next 35 years from 1826 to 1861; sometimes she was away at other locations.
The labourers and servants probably didn't like the idea that an old widow is running the big property and telling them what to do either directly or through managers. With her sisters living with her, it added to the image that a group of old ladies ran the place.
And with the 3 people being convicted of stealing on Widow Lodwick's property and their sentence being very harsh and adding the accidental death at Lambourne Hall farm, it made some of the people of Canewdon and elsewhere thought Widow Eliza Lodwick and her sister, Mary Ann Atkinson were Witches.
The fear of the Witches in Canewdon, prompted some of the people of the village to enlist James Murrell’s assistance to expose the Witches.
James Murrell was the famous Cunning man and Witch Doctor of Hadleigh, Essex. He was a frequent visitor to Canewdon. His sister, Hannah, the wife of Daniel Whitwell, was living in Canewdon since 1820. Also James and Hannah's parent were married in Canewdon in 1783.
The people of the village then went to petition the Vicar William Atkinson. But the vicar rejected it.
The situation puts the aging Vicar at odds with some of the people of Canewdon and James Murrell. Tensions were probably high for a while.
And Widow Eliza Lodwick had to keep an eye on James Murrell.

The following newspaper article mentioned Arthur Downes, a 94 year old gardener who mentioned that the above situation happened in his father's time.
From the newspaper article “Witches over the Crouch” in The Times, Tuesday, 27 January 1959:
“Quite recently it was arranged for me to meet a 94-year-old gardener by the name of Arthur Downes who was born and bred in Canewdon.”
“Many a night his father, who had kept the local ferry, had heard the rustle of a silk dress beside him as he walked home through the lanes but “never a step to be heard or a figure seen.” The two most active witches in his day had been “Passon’s wife and owd Lady Lodwick” living at Wick farm.”
“When I asked Arthur Downes if he had ever heard of James Murrell, the cunning man of Hadleigh Castle, he smiled knowingly and said: “Aye, he had the power to whistle up all the Canewdon witches.”
During his father’s lifetime the village petitioned Vicar Atkinson to let Murrell exercise his whistling powers and make the witches confess themselves by dancing round the churchyard. “But,” said old Downes, “Passon ‘ee said ‘No.’ For ‘ee didn’t want to be ashamed afore all knowing that Mary Ann, his wife, would be among them.”
There is also a story about Widow Lodwick that was passed down the years to Arthur Downes. Arthur Downes heard the story from his father, William Downes, a ferryman and then labourer who worked at Loftmans in the 1850's to 1860's.
It involves Lady Lodwick and two of her servants when she took a trip to and back from Rochford.
From the newspaper article “Witches over the Crouch” in The Times, Tuesday, 27 January 1959:
One afternoon old Lady Lodwick had left her two maids preparing fruit for jam making in the kitchen, with strict injunctions that they were not to stop work till her return from Rochford.
Hardly had the sound of carriage wheels died away than Sarah Jane, the younger maid, was filled with longing to eat black currants dangling on the bushes outside the kitchen window. Down went her bowl as she cried, "I must go, Martha!" "Doant 'ee be so foolish. Remember what Missus told us." replied her wiser companion.
But Sarah Jane was already out of the window, picking away like mad and stuffing the juicy berries into her mouth. Her appetite appeased, she made to return, throwing her leg over the kitchen window sill.
To her horror, she found suddenly that she could not move. She was frozen solid there, half in and half out, till the sound of carriage wheels was again heard on the gravel drive. Now there came footsteps down the passage, and as old Lady Lodwick appeared at the door, crying, "Why, you foolish girl, whatever are you doing there?" Sarah Jane found that she could move and speak again.
