A good china figure of Grace Darling made by Woods & Sons for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) to commemorate it's founding 150 years previously. Since that was 1824, this figure must date from 1974. 

It is Numbered 143 of a Limited Edition of 5,000.

'The daughter of a lighthouse keeper, Darling grew up on the Farne Islands in Longstone.Intensely shy and private, she become the focus of national attention after the steamship Forfarshire sank during a severe storm in September 1838. Nine people managed to find refuge on nearby rocks, and Darling and her father battled rough water to row to their rescue. The incident inspired numerous poems, paintings, and songs and made Darling a virtual cult figure. After her sudden death from tuberculosis, she was buried in the churchyard in Banburgh, where an ornate monument was erected in her honour. Nearby is the Grace Darling Museum'. (Enc. Brittanica)

Grace received a Silver Medal for Gallantry from the RNLI.

The condition of this figure is excellent.
