Grace Horsley Darling was born in Bamburgh, Northumberland, England.

She was awarded an RNLI Silver Medal for Gallantry. Gold medals were awarded to both Grace and her father from the Royal Humane Society and £50 from Queen Victoria. She died aged 26 on 20 October 1842 from consumption, which is another name for TB.
