George Wareham of Benvill was an agent for the supply of English nuns to convents in Flanders, and in 1626 (or soon after) he was trying to persuade Winifred and Elizabeth Brereton to join a convent. Winifred "escaped" by marrying George Arundell, third and youngest son of John Arundell of Chideock (a Catholic family).

Elizabeth was professed a nun on 4 Oct 1626 at St. Monica's in Louvain, Brabant (now Belgium), and on 11 Oct, she was one of the second group of 5 nuns sent to found "The English Convent" (Priory of Our Lady of Nazareth) in Bruges, Flanders (now Belgium). After Elizabeth became a nun, George Wareham, and his brother John, claimed all her property (worth about 1000 Pounds), saying that she had made it over to them "in consideration of services rendered".
