The common practice of holding inquests in public houses applied to the Globe with the first recorded inquest in March 1859 when 76 year old Elizabeth Stump’s death by accidental burning was recorded. Probably the most poignant inquest was in August 1860 when two 14 year old boys, William Bull and Frederick Channing in the employ of Mr Mason at the brickworks, became trapped in the mud at the bottom of a 5 ft deep pool at the works and drowned. There were other inquests, of which, the last recorded was in 1880 when Florence May, nine months old, died of measles.
