Elizabeth Pargetter
  • Born: 21 Apr 1967
  • Status: Widow
  • Occupation: Stately home owner/manager

The lady of Lower Loxley took to her role like a duck to water and her quick mind and sound business sense ensure that the Hall runs like a well-oiled machine.

Her practical side was the perfect grounding for her eccentric and slightly scatty husband Nigel, who tragically died in a fall on 2 January 2011.

As the family rallied round, devastated Elizabeth drew her precious twins close to her.
