Willingham House, English country house in North Willingham, Lincolnshire, England

The mansion featured a prominent portico with stone pillars and stood near a small lake visible from the Market Rasen to Louth road.

Constructed around 1790 for Ayscoghe Boucherett, the house was designed by architect Robert Mitchell and remained until its demolition in 1967.

The Boucherett family commissioned Sir Thomas Lawrence to create portraits of their children over a five-year period at the residence.

The site now functions as an industrial park, with only some remnants of the original outbuildings still present on the grounds.

The Royal Engineers used explosives to demolish the structure at precisely 2 PM on June 7, 1967, due to extensive wood beetle damage.
