'''Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station''' is a former [[Royal National Lifeboat Institution]] (RNLI) station, which was located at the village of [[Bamburgh]] in the county of [[Northumberland]]. A lifeboat was first stationed here by the RNLI in 1882.
The station was closed in 1897.<ref name="LBES">{{cite book |last1=Leonard |first1=Richie |last2=Denton |first2=Tony |title=Lifeboat Enthusiasts Handbook 2024|date=2024 |publisher=Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society |pages=4–132}}</ref>
== History ==
It was long thought that Bamburgh Castle lifeboat station was the First lifeboat station, dating from 1786, but that honour is now with [[Formby Lifeboat Station]], founded 10 years earlier. However, at the request of the "Crewe Trustees", a charitable organisation founded by Nathaniel Crewe, [[Bishop of Durham]] in 1704, a lifeboat constructed by [[Lionel Lukin]] was placed here in the late 1700s, where it served for many years.<ref name="FirstLifeboats">{{cite web |title=1785: The first lifeboats |url=https://rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline/1785-the-first-lifeboats |publisher=RNLI |access-date=30 April 2024}}</ref>
It was only in 1882, following several shipwrecks in the area, that requests were made to the RNLI to place a boat at Bamburgh, which was agreed. A site for a boathouse was chosen on The Wyndings, and constructed at a cost of £231. A 32-foot self-righting "pulling and sailing"" lifeboat (one with oars and sails), built by Woolfe of [[Shadwell]] and costing £282, was funded by the late Mr John Cuttell, of [[Holmfirth]], [[Yorkshire]], and named after the donor and his sister ''John and Betty Cuttell'' (ON 184) at a ceremony on 24 August 1882. A further £1000 was donated by Miss Cuttell for the upkeep of the Bamburgh Castle lifeboat in perpetuity. Two further lifeboats to serve at Banburgh were also named ''John and Betty Cuttell''.<ref name="NorthumberlandJM">{{cite book |last1=Morris |first1=Jeff |title=The Closed Lifeboat Stations of Northumberland |date=May 2000 |publisher=Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society |pages=14–15}}</ref>
In 1885, the ''John and Betty Cuttell'' (ON 184) was transferred to [[Whitby Lifeboat Station|Upgang]] lifeboat station near [[Whitby]], renamed ''Joseph Sykes'', and Bamburgh received another 32-foot self-righting lifeboat built by Woolfe, a slightly older boat built in 1879, previously named ''City of Manchester'' at [[Ferryside Lifeboat Station]]. She was called out twice over the next 4 years, but each time another lifeboat, {{Lbs|Boulmer}}, and then {{Lbs|Holy Island}}, effected a rescue.<ref name="NorthumberlandJM"/>
A third and final lifeboat would be provided to Banburgh in 1889. This time, it was a 34-foot self-righting lifeboat, again constructed by Woolfe, costing £426, and again named ''John and Betty Cuttell'' (ON 247). The boat was only launched once, with the rescue eventually carried out by the [[Seahouses Lifeboat Station|North Sunderland lifeboat]], and was called but stood down a further three times.<ref name="NorthumberlandJM"/>
With a record of just three launches and no lives saved over a 15 year period, and apparently with sufficient lifeboat cover in the area, the Bamburgh Castle lifeboat station was closed in 1897. The boathouse still remains, and is used as a Holiday Let.<ref name="LBES"/>
