Grace Darling Memorial: Artist(s): Charles Raymond Smith (c.1799–1888) and Messrs Hicks & Charlewood and Frederick Richard Wilson (1827–1894) and Anthony Salvin (1799–1881). A canopied tomb in the decorated Gothic style with a carved recumbent figure of the saintly heroine holding a stone oar by her side. Carved relief seaweed forms the decoration under the mattress on which she lies. The tomb, commemorating Grace Darling (1815–1842), has three arches supported by metal colonettes and is topped by metal finials. The figure of Grace Darling suffered erosion from the effects of the sea, and was replaced, by the same artist, Charles Raymond Smith, in 1885. The monument was restored in 1885, and again in 1893 by Frederick Richard Wilson. Later restorations were carried out by Hicks & Charleswood. reference ArtUK
