Jane Kennedy

Jane Kennedy is the daughter of Judith Kennedy and an unknown man, the mother of Beth, the coroner of Lighthaven and the main protagonist of the BBC crime drama series The Coroner.

She is portrayed by Claire Goose.

She was originally a solicitor, but moved back to her hometown of Lighthaven in South Devon (where she left years before) with her 15-year-old daughter Beth to take up the job of the town's coroner.

When not working, Jane and Davey are seen at the village pub The Black Dog, ran by Jane's mother Judith and her partner Mick Sturrock.
