Maude Lilian Tassell disappeared on 8 November 1955 after going out for an evening walk from the Vale Royal Hotel in Tunbridge Wells where she had been living at the time.
Her hat was later found on the post of a park bench in Dunorlan Park about four yards from the lake and the lake was partially drained in a bid to find her, but the search failed to locate her body. However, her body was later recovered from the lake on the morning of Monday 28 November 1955 after it floated to the surface.
