An 89-year-old widow and former factory girl from Ravensthorpe, West Yorkshire, has left an estate worth £6m.

An 89-year-old widow and former factory girl from Ravensthorpe, West Yorkshire, has left an estate worth £6m. Rosa Hargreaves left all her money to her 51-year-old son John. It does not appear that she was encouraged to leave some of her estate to charity. Unfortunately, the Inland Revenue is claiming the full £2.3m in inheritance tax.

Mrs Hargreaves’ wealth was based on shares in Glaxo left to her by her husband who died 47 years ago.
