In the Duchess's household at Horsham, in around 1536, Catherine(then aged
13) was repeatedly molested by her music teacher, Henry Mannox(aged 36).
The interferences by Mannox came to an end in 1538,
when Catherine, now aged 15, moved to the Dowager Duchess's household in Lambeth.
When questioned Catherine was quoted as saying,"At the flattering and fair persuasions of Mannox, being but a young girl,
I suffered him at sundry times to handle and touch the secret parts of my body, which neither became me with honesty to permit nor him to require.".
