THE village of Great Broughton has lost one of its best known and most popular figures with the death of Mrs Margaret Sutcliffe. Aged 95, she had lived for many years in a prominent bungalow on the edge of the village. There, her husband, Len, created a garden that was an acknowledged village showpiece. Following his death in 2009, Mrs Sutcliffe, then in her eighties, drew admiration and astonishment from villagers by devoting herself to the garden with equal zest and care. With some family help she maintained it somewhere near the exceptional standard set by her husband. Like him, however, she was always ready to break off to chat with passers-by or visitors, especially old friends in the village.
