OPEN VERDICT ON 'UPSET' CLAVERDON WIFE
     A woman who was said to always become depressed at Christmas, died on December 23 last year from a combination of alcohol and barbiturates, it was stated at a Stratford-on-Avon inquest.
     Mr. F.S. Lodder, the Coroner, recorded an open verdict on Eileen Mary Glanvill, aged 52, of Church Lane, Claverdon.
     Mr. Harry Glanvill, her husband said: "I think she was very depressed - she always got depressed at Christmas. She was an extremely emotional type."
     He said that on the evening of her death he and his wife were going to a party in Birmingham. After she had had a few drinks they went to the party where they shared a bottle of champagne.
A diabetic
     They returned home between 10.30 and 10.45p.m. when Mrs. Glanville was "terribly upset, in a terrible state." She later went out of the house and on her return appeared to be half hazy.
     She told him that she had taken some tablets, but later denied that she had taken anything.
     "Then she collapsed in a gentle manner. She just seemed to lie down. I thought it was a bit of her theatricals," said Mr. Glanville. He added that he thought it was possible that his wife was hopelessly confused at the time.
     Dr. T.P. Gunn, said he found Mrs. Glanvill lying unconscious in the hallway. She was a diabetic and he had been prescribing anti-depressant, weight-reducing and sleeping drugs.
     Dr. M.K. Alexander, pathologist, said death was caused by poisoning, a combination of alcohol and barbiturates.
