Where was Marlowe killed?

Question

What is the exact location where Christopher Marlowe was killed? In what street and town?

I know he was killed in a hotel somewhere in England in 1593.

Answer 1

The facts only came to light in 1925 when the scholar Leslie Hotson discovered the coroner's report on Marlowe's death in the Public Record Office.[13] Marlowe had spent all day in a house (not a tavern, as is widely claimed, even in some biographies) in Deptford, owned by the widow Eleanor Bull, along with three men, Ingram Frizer, Nicholas Skeres and Robert Poley[14]. All three had been employed by the Walsinghams. Skeres and Poley had helped snare the conspirators in the Babington plot. Frizer was a servant of Thomas Walsingham. Witnesses testified that Frizer and Marlowe had earlier argued over the bill, exchanging "divers malicious words." Later, while Frizer was sitting at a table between the other two and Marlowe was lying behind him on a couch, Marlowe snatched Frizer's dagger and began attacking him. In the ensuing struggle, according to the coroner's report, Marlowe was accidentally stabbed above the right eye, killing him instantly. The jury concluded that Frizer acted in self-defence, and within a month he was pardoned.

I don't know but Dr. Faustus is a very bad play.

Answer 3

Kit Marlowe was stabbed to death in a pub brawl at Deptford, then in the county of Kent.

See this lot because there seems to be some doubt about the manner and timing of Marlowe's death - the story outlined in my first para above, is what I heard at school in the 1940s and it's of quite widespread belief, especially here in London.
