Sowerbutt's Medal

“An incendiary lodged up in the dome. Dry old timber up there, would have gone up in a flash. One of the Cathedral fire-watchers – a clergyman, young bloke – got hold of it and pushed it out, bold as brass. Tumbled down to the street and was dealt with. He’d have been burnt to a cinder if the timber beams had caught. Deserves a medal.”
