In the 19th Century it was common for inquests to held in pubs. There were
county coroners, but inquests were always held in the parish in which the
body was found. On Wednesday 3rd August 1831 The Standard reported an
inquest that had taken place at the Leather Bottle on the 1st. The Kent
county coroner Carttar mentioned was succeeded by his son and then his
grandson. Sadly official records of inquests are very few and far between,
so we have to rely on press reports. ***
