Did you know that in 1919, Beatrix Potter helped to set up a Nursing Trust for the villages of Near/Far Sawrey, Wray, and Hawkshead? She even provided housing and a car for the nurse! Beatrix saw a need for access and improvement to healthcare in the villages. This trust lasted until 1948 when the National Health Service took over.
