GARGOYLES ST HELENA'S CHURCH, THOROTON
There is a link to the full information about the church here
Thoroton is a beautiful village, and has some exceptional history. It is not however the origin of the Thoroton Society.
If you take the time to have a wander around the small churchyard you will be rewarded with an interesting find
There is a rather overgrown headstone of Ethel Gordon Manson. Ethel Manson became the first state registered nurse when state registration was started in 1921. Born in 1857, she became matron of St Paul’s hospital aged 24. She was responsible for proper training for nurses, founding the British Nurses Association and the British College of Nurses. Dying in 1949, aged 90, her bitterest enemy was Florence Nightingale. She was the widow of Bedford Fenwick, MD.
If anybody would like to expand to the Church Micro series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
