Her daughter, Sue, wrote to tell us that Meriol died of the frailty of old age on 5th April, aged 94 years.

Sue writes:

“The Perse School was a hugely happy and positive influence on her life. I think she was co-head girl for 6 months. She told us a story whereby while holding this august position and charged with cleaning out a vase of flowers, she, not feeling like going downstairs to empty the water down the sink, instead poured it out of the window and inadvertently onto an unsuspecting teacher’s head.”
