The extraordinary row between one of Norfolk's wealthiest families and their sex therapist tenant has taken a bizarre new twist involving horses and chopped-down trees.

Lady Pea Ramshaw - who has been locked in a bitter feud with the Cators over her tenancy in the Old House, Ranworth - claims foliage has been removed from near the property and a horse placed in a neighbouring meadow to "intimidate" her and her pets.

The tenancy dispute began when Lady Pea, a self-styled lady and a sex coach, moved into the property more than a year ago, with a menagerie of more than a dozen animals.

Eastern Daily Press:

Lady Pea claims she was left to live in the property without heating and electricity for large spells.

Her landlords, the Cators, on the other hand, claim her animals - which include four dogs and several sheep - are destroying the land and that she breached a tenancy agreement when she moved them in.

Earlier this year, the row reached the courtroom, with the outcome of a tribunal still outstanding.

Now, the bad blood between the warring parties has taken another bizarre turn.

A number of trees have been chopped down along the property's boundary - alongside a field where Lady Pea's two horses, Bea and Bebe, are kept.

And a third horse, not belonging to Lady Pea, has been added to the neighbouring field - a gelding.

Lady Pea claims the move is a deliberate attempt to intimidate her and her horses into leaving the property.

She said the horse was constantly calling out to her mares and does so throughout the night.

"The only trees that have been removed are the ones next to the field my horses are in - and the gelding suddenly appeared on the same day," she added.

"It can't be a coincidence and it puts the safety of my horses at risk.

"I think they are trying to make me leave."

Eastern Daily Press:

The Cators have declined to comment on Lady Pea's claims. It is not clear whether the family is responsible for the changes.

However, in an email seen by this newspaper, Jane Cator alleged that one of Lady Pea's horses had made its way into the village graveyard. Lady Pea denies this.

A property tribunal hearing held over the tenancy row concluded more than six weeks ago. A decision has yet to be published.

The tribunal came despite both parties wanting the fractured relationship to come to an end.

The Cator family has made it clear they want to end Lady Pea's tenancy, while the sex therapist is equally keen to vacate the property.

However, Lady Pea argues that she ought to be refunded more than £40,000 in rent - and a £13,000 utilities bill racked up due to having to use electric radiators to heat the home.

During the hearing, it was alleged that Mrs Cator had spied on Lady Pea from the nearby Ranworth church tower - a claim that was denied.

The Cators, however, accused Lady Pea of breaching the terms of her tenancy agreement with the number of animals she moved into the property and the land associated with it.

Lady Pea currently has four dogs, two pigs, a handful of sheep, a goat and several ducks and geese - as well as Bea and Bebe.

The Cator estate told the tribunal court that they had only agreed for her to move in two dogs and "some sheep".

The tribunal was heard over the course of two days, with the judge retiring on February 21 to consider a ruling on the case.

Tribunal judge Stephen Evans warned: "This is not going to be the kind of case where both parties come out shining in glory."
