A schoolboy had to be rescued by firefighters after spending almost three hours stuck in a stone monument at a National Trust property.
Max Morgan’s leg became trapped during an Easter holiday outing with his family at Wightwick Manor near Wolverhampton on Tuesday.
One of the more unusual incidents our crews and technical rescue unit have attended, but that’s what we’re there for #NotJustFires https://t.co/rtCBJU9OUH

The seven-year-old had climbed inside the monument and eventually got stuck – prompting his parents to call the emergency services.
Fire crews arrived at around 3.30pm but a specialist team were called to help due to the complexity of the operation.
He was checked over by paramedics and taken to hospital but was found to have only suffered bruising to his leg.
“We just want to say a big thank you to the firefighters, NHS workers and paramedics who helped him.”
