Histoire administrative
The first entry of a coroner in York dates from 1229, and there were three in 1279 and the 1630s. Though appointed and salaried by the corporation, the coroner is an independant official, ultimately responsible to Crown and Lord Chancellor. In 2019 the office of the City of York Coroner moved from York to Northallerton to co-locate with the services of the North Yorkshire Coroner. At present the two offices are still functionally separate.

Zone du contenu et de la structure
Portée et contenu
This material includes original case files between 1913 and 1926, and from 1971 to present. There are no surviving case files between 1927 and 1935, and from 1935 to 1971 only summary books exist, giving very basic details of each inquest. All case files have been indexed, but the name index is only publicly-available for inquests held between 1913 and 1926. If you are interested in later case files please email ([email protected]) for confirmation that a file exists.
