Life saving advice

I have photographed many of these public access defibrillators, but this is the first I have seen with advice about the whole treatment of the victim. I love this country. A few well-meaning individuals have sat down and thought about when this device may be used, and taken their own actions to help. This is why local voluntary action works so well.

St Faith, Wilsthorpe

The 1715 rebuild was subjected to "cruel alterations" by James Fowler in 1862, "showing the C19 contempt for the C18, paralleled in the mid-C20 contempt for the C19". Fowler added the spire and changed all the windows. Grade II* listed.
