The "Montefiore Arms" is a tribute to the great Jewish philanthropist Sir
Moses Montefiore. He lived many years in the town before dying at the age of
101, a year after presenting the new Borough with its mayoral chain in 1884.
His wife, Lady Judith, was the last citizen of Ramsgate to use the sedan
chair business operated by Edward Payne.
I also have also seen this addressed as at Hereson, St. Lawrence.

Kentish Gazette, 29 February 1876.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Mr. Coroner DeLasaux held an inquest yesterday (Monday) afternoon,
at the "Montefoire Arms", Hersden, in the parish of St. Lawrence,
upon the body of a man unknown which had been found under the cliff
in that parish by a coastguard man early on Sunday morning.
Evidence having been taken as to the finding of the body, Charles
Cribb, master of a barge lying in Ramsgate harbour, deposed to
seeing a man walk into the sea near the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Station at Ramsgate, shortly after eleven o'clock on
Saturday night. He called to him but received no reply, and an alarm
having been given, several persons made a search along the shore, but
nothing could be seen of the man, who had plunged head foremost into
the water when spoken to by the witness.
The body had not been identified, no papers, marks, or other means
of identification having been found upon it. It appeared to be that
of a man about 40 years of age, 3ft. 8ins high, of florid
complexion, with dark hair turning grey, and a full facts closely
shaven. The clothing was new, and consisted of black cloth trousers,
striped cloth waist coat, two woollen shirts, socks, and
side-spring shoes. No coat was found upon the body, but a hat was
picked up about thirty yards off. The jury returned a verdict that
the deceased drowned himself, but that there was no evidence to show
his state of mind at the time.
The body of the man has since the inquest, been identified by a
gentleman from Rotherhithe as that of his son-in-law. Mr. John
Fulcher, of 20, New-Church-street, Paddington, an upholsterer, who
left home on Wednesday morning for the ostensible purpose of paying
some bills in the City. The deceased, who leaves a wife and four
children, has been somewhat unsettled in his mind for some months,
but no reason can be assigned for the rash act.

Thanet Advertiser, Saturday 21 July 1877.
Coroner's Inquest.
On Monday afternoon, Mr. Coroner Delasaux held an inquest at the "Montefiore
Arms," Hereson Road upon the body of Ann Farley, 46 years, who had died
very suddenly on the previous Saturday morning.
The first witness called was Jane Wilson, a neighbour, who stated that
she saw the deceased on Friday evening lying on a mattress in her
cottage. Deceased said she felt ill and ought to have a doctor. She saw
the deceased afterwards, and she then said she felt better.
William Farley, a fly driver, the husband of the deceased, said he got
up on Saturday morning, about a quarter before 5 o'clock to go to work,
and left it ceased in bed. On returning at about 6:30 he saw her upon
the bed, and from her appearance he was led to go for a doctor. After a
little time Mr. Curling, surgeon, came, and it was then discovered that
the deceased was dead.
Mr. William Curling stated that he was called to see the deceased about
7 o'clock on Saturday morning, when he found that she was quite dead and
had been so for about half an hour. He had since made a post-mortem
examination of the body, and on taking out the heart he found about 30
hydatid cysts (a kind of bladder containing water and insects), some of
which were as large as a cricket ball, and others the size of a pea. It
was the burating of one of these large cysts which has caused death. He
had not known of such a case before, as it was a most unusual character.
The jury Returned a verdict of "Death from natural causes."
