Editing Edith Pargeter (section)

==Later life==
In 1992 her mobility began to decline after a fall during a service being televised for ''[[Songs of Praise]]'' at [[Shrewsbury Abbey]]. She had a further fall in 1994 at home that led to the amputation of a leg at [[Princess Royal Hospital, Telford]].<ref name=shropstar/>

She died at her last home in Glendinning Way, [[Madeley, Shropshire]], in October 1995 at the age of 82, having recently returned home from hospital following a stroke. On 14 September 1997, a new stained glass window depicting St Benedict was installed in [[Shrewsbury Abbey]] and was dedicated to the memory of Edith Pargeter, with funds raised by donations from admirers of the author.

She is remembered in her home town with a residential road named after her. Ellis Peters Drive sits off Southall Road between [[Aqueduct, Telford|Aqueduct]] and [[Brookside, Telford|Brookside]] in [[Telford]].
