i have just been sent a copy of my ancesters coroners report by banbury library. inquest in to death of reuben scarrott. from exposure. . mr george coggins the coroner for north oxon held an inquest on tuesday at the bell inn hook norton on the body of reuben scarrott. an inmate of the chipping norton union had been found dead by mr ah collett who went to look at some cattle at luckells biuldings. and saw the body of reuben lying in the courtyard. does anybody no were luckells biuldings are was it a farmyard. i know reuben was found 4 miles from hook norton workhouse were he had lived for a year.this is in 1902 when reuben died does anybody know luckells biuldings abt 4 miles fron hook norton sounds like a farm thanks tony bond

I'm sure you will have already done this but just incase. I googled Luckells Buildinds and in a description of the farm, the name William Luckell is inscribed above one fireplace. Google - Four Shire Stone Barn, Evenlode - and it should bring the webpage up or:

This is probably further than 4 miles more likely 6-7 west of Hook Norton but you may be lucky
