   I'm reminded of the Rev. John Burgess Karslake, one of my great^4   
   grandfathers, who survived a fire in his house in South Molton in   
   1748/9 a few hours after he was born, in which both his parents and two   
   brothers died. He was saved by his nurse, who tied him up in her apron   
   and jumped out of a window. I haven't seen it, but I believe there is a   
   memorial plaque in the church.
