This was written about in a novel by Reverend Richard Cobbold entitled Freston Tower and so should not be taken as fact.
Rev. Richard Cobbold (son of her former employers) made Catchpole the subject of a novel, The History of Margaret Catchpole (London, 1845), which has often been reprinted.
The History Of Margaret Catchpole: A Suffolk Girl became the 1887 play An English Lass by Alfred Dampier and C.H. Krieger, which formed the basis for the film The Romantic Story of Margaret Catchpole (1912)
In 1845 Richard Cobbold's historical novel The History Of Margaret Catchpole: A Suffolk Girl was published, which helped make Catchpole famous, even if it did distort history.
