Monument to Grace Darling
The Monument to Grace Darling, in the churchyard of St Aidan's Church, Bamburgh, Northumberland is a Victorian Gothic memorial.

Grace Darling was born on 24 November 1815, the daughter of the lighthouseman at Longstone Lighthouse. In 1838, Darling became a national heroine when she and her father rescued nine people from the wreck of the SS Forfarshire, a ship that had run aground off Big Harcar, an island off the Northumbrian coast. Darling died, aged 26, in 1842 and the monument was raised some distance to the north of her grave to make it viewable to passing sailors,at the west edge of the churchyard in the same year.
