In 1806 Elizabeth and her husband, John Cobbold (1745-1835), hosted the first of their St Valentine's Day Balls, which were to become a mainstay of the local social calendar for the next twenty years. Elizabeth made papercut Valentines for unmarried guests. They were cut from a doubled piece of paper to create two copies. At the end of the Ball, all the ones for ladies were put in one hat and all the ones for gentlemen were put in another. Each person drew out a picture and the pair who drew the same picture were officially a St. Valentine's couple, simply decided by fate.A collection of Elizabeth's paper-cut valentines where exhibited at The Cobbold Family History Trust's Exhibition, Glemham Hall, Suffolk, in 2008.
