Dame Sarah was born in Kirton in 1854 and was one of three founders of the then College of Nursing in 1916. A memorial is dedicated to her at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Kirton, where the Nurses’ Day service was held.
Nurses’ Day is celebrated each year on 12 May, the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.
