Grace Darling Museum
Grace Darling was awarded the RNLI's Silver Medal for Gallantry. The museum in her home town of Bamburgh was established in 1938 to commemorate her life. The museum was redeveloped and the modernised building was opened on 18th December 2007. The museum tells Grace's story through personal items, including letters, family portraits and the original coble used in the rescue in 1838, which made her a national heroine.
