A Cistercian abbey established at Meaux was to dominate the economic and social life of the parish of Wawne until its dissolution in 1539 when it came into the hands of the crown. For the next century the Alford and Langdale families owned Wawne until the Corporation of the City of London acquired it in 1629. In 1651 they made a grant of some of the land and rents to Joseph Ashe (1617-1686) who was the third son of a London clothier. He became a successful London merchant and built up estates in Wawne quickly, though he did not reside in the village. Katherine Ashe (1652-1729), married William Windham of Fellbrigg Hall, Norfolk when the Wawne property transferred. The Windham family were wealthy London merchants also who had owned Fellbrigg since at least the early part of the fifteenth century. Joseph Windham Ashe (1683-1746) was a merchant in London specialising in wholesale linen drapery and was cashier to the salt commissioners between about 1718 and 1734, and 1741.
