      Pickwick is also noted for "The Two Pigs" a real ale Pub, (formerly the "Spread Eagle Inn" which was 5 Doors away from Elizabeth Clothiers address at this 1881 census), but a the end of the nineteenth century Pickwick did not have a mortuary and the dead were laid out on the bar of the pub until they could be transferred to Corsham mortuary.
      (It is a Grade II listed building since 20 Dec 1960 and is described in the DoE lists of Buildings of Special Historical Interest (Feb 1990) as: Inn, mid 18th Century possibly refronting an earlier range. Ashlar with stone tiled mansard roof, coped West gable and end-wall stacks. Tall 2-storeys plus attic. 3-window range. 2-hipped 9-pane dormers. Main front with covered eaves cornice and floor band, window range not central. 3-first floor 12-pane sashes, one to ground floor left, air to ground floor right, 6 panel door between in unmoulded surround).

      Corsham was also the inspiration for Charles Dickens' novel The Pickwick Papers, it is thought that he borrowed the name from Moses Pickwick, a coachman sho was born in Pickwick, lived in the Hare and Hounds inn, and ran coaches between Bath and London. Matt Falvey 21 Nov 2009 ref Wikipedia.
