Baden Watkins.Catherina Boevey (1669-1726) the chatelaine of Flaxley Abbey was a most generous distributor to the poor, prisoners and many others throughout the long years of her widowhood. She was parodied by Sir Richard Steele as the Perverse Widow of Sir Roger de Coverley in The Spectator, the magazine he founded with his friend Joseph Addison. The daughter and heiress of a wealthy London merchant, John Riches (1628-1718) and his wife Ann, née Davall, she married aged 15 in 1684 William Boevey (1667-1692) a dissolute youth who a year earlier, aged 16, had inherited Flaxley Abbey and the estate from a cousin that died without issue. Her unhappy marriage was childless and her husband who was given to "excesses, both in debauch and ill-humour" died at 25. She devoted the rest of her life to good works, rejecting all subsequent offers of marriage, hence Steele giving her the sobriquet the perverse widow.++Lined and restored in the early 20th c when placed on the present stretchers and on the reverse of the support a handwritten label inscribed No12 Catherine Bovey (see 8 and 34) 1913.
