William Earl of Essex confirmed the donation of "villa de Kahingeham" to "Ernulfo de Mandavilla fratri meo" by undated charter, witnessed by "Comite Albrico, Simone de Bellocampo, Gaufrido de Say…". A charter of King Henry II confirmed donations to Newenham Priory, including a donation by "Simon de Bello-campo".

She married secondly Nicholas de Kenet. Bracton records a claim, dated 1225, by "Willelmus de Bello Campo" against "Nicholaum de Kenet" for the return of "manerium de Sheldelegha" which was the dower of "Ysobellam de Bello Campo uxorem suam matrem predicti Willelmi", which he claimed reverted to him after his mother died as she had no heirs by her second husband.
