Willoughby, Lincolnshire

Willoughby is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated south from the market town of Alford, and on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
== History ==
To the rear of Tavern Way is a field containing a scheduled ancient monument, a medieval earthwork of an unknown date.
The most notable person to have come from Willoughby is John Smith, one of the leaders of the Virginia Colony in North America. He was born and raised in the village, and christened at St Helena's church in 1580. When Smith was 16 his father George Smith was buried at the same church on 3 April 1596.〔Barbour, Philip L: ''The Three Worlds of Captain John Smith'', p. 9. Houghton Mifflin Company Boston, 1964.〕 Smith was connected to the Native American girl Pocahontas, daughter of the chief of the Powhatan confederacy tribes. Smith met her when settling Jamestown in the 17th century. There have been many fictional representations of their encounter and surrounding events, including Disney's animated musical film ''Pocahontas'' and its sequel. The cottage where Smith lived still exists and is situated in one of the village lanes. On the anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown settlement hundreds of Americans come to the village to see where Smith lived.
