She was, however, awarded an honorary masters degree by Birmingham University.
Pargeter wrote under a number of pseudonyms; it was under the name Ellis Peters that she wrote crime stories.
In 1994, she was awarded an OBE for her services to literature. Pargeter died at her home in Madeley, Shropshire in 1995 at the age of 82. In Shrewsbury Abbey, a stained glass window depicting St Benedict is dedicated to her memory.
