Grace Darling Memorial
The memorial to Grace Darling (1815 - 1842) stands in the churchyard of St Aidan's Church in Bamburgh. The memorial was built in 1842, in a Gothic Revival style designed by Anthony Salvin. It has a life-size stone effigy of Grace lying on it and is surrounded by ashlar and bronze, iron railings. The memorial was repaired in 1885 by Frederick Wilson, when a new effigy in Portland stone was carved by C R Smith. (the original stone effigy is now inside the church). In 1894 the canopy was rebuilt to the designs of W S Hicks, after the original was damaged in a gale.[1] The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
