She was a minor at her father's death and in ward to the king. She subsequently married William de Echingham, to whom Edward I, when staying at his house in Udimore in November 1295, granted free warren in Linch and elsewhere. Eve died without issue before 1326, when her heir is alleged to have been Sir William le Moyne, but between 1337 and 1340 John atte See of Denton, son of Joan, daughter of Brian de Stopham, claimed and recovered the manor against John de Lancastre and Mabel his wife, widow of William le Moyne, and Adam Husee, to whom William le Moyne had granted it.
