Mrs Cherrington, who was 74 years of age, was knocked down by a motor lorry on December 27, presumably in Bleasbey, Nottinghamshire. She did not regain consciousness, and died on January 4. The late Mrs Cherringt,on suffered 'from deafness, and it is surmised that tijis contributed to the accident.
