A woman died in hospital after suffering burns which covered 40pc of her body, an inquest has heard.
Glorianna Langley-Finch, 73, from Blackborough End, was taken to Broomfield Hospital, in Chelmsford - which has a specialist burns unit - to be treated for her injuries.
An inquest into her death, which opened at Norfolk Coroner's Court this week, heard she died at the hospital on April 12.
Jaqueline Lake, Norfolk's senior coroner, said Miss Langley-Finch was a retired funeral arranger and funeral director. 
She was born in Bedfordshire but was living in the tiny village of Blackborough End at the time of her death.

Miss Langley-Finch's ex-husband provided a short statement to the coroner confirming her date of birth and previous occupation.
The coroner read that doctor Neil Martin, of Broomfield Hospital, gave the medical cause of death as multiple organ failure from accidental burns covering 40pc of her body.
A full inquest into the death is due to be held in June 2024.
