London coroners’ rolls cover nine years from 1300 to 1340. They report the findings of the investigative jury who were summoned after a suspicious sudden and violent death. Although the details vary, the summary would usually specify where and when the homicide happened, who was involved, what triggered the event, what weapons were used, and what the nature and dimensions of the wound were.
Our main map includes 142 murder incidents. Uniquely for London we have also created maps on sanctuary churches, accidents, sudden deaths, and deaths in prison. Users interested in these topics can choose ‘incident type’ in the filter options and choose the topics they wish to display.
