    • In August 1957 a verdict of accidental death was recorded by the Coroner on Miss Emily James of Hill View, Green Lane, Stratton on the Fosse.

      Evidence of identification was given by Miss Winifred Mary Horler of Highclere, Wells Road, Chilcompton. Emily lived for many years with Miss Edith Bryant who told the Coroner she had good health considering her age. She had had a fall about 4 years before but had made a good recovery.

      On 26 August she heard some knocking from Miss James's room and found her sitting on the floor partly dressed. She said "I have fallen down and can't get up". She was taken to Paulton Hospital where it was found she had fractured her left thigh.

      The condition slowly deteriorated and she died of hypo-static pneumonia at the age of 97.
