From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nancy Jane Marie Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, 28th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby (b. 1 December 1934) is the daughter of the late Gilbert James Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, 3rd Earl of Ancaster and Nancy née Astor.

Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby served as a train bearer and Maid of Honour to Elizabeth II during the 1953 coronation. Her brother Timothy, heir apparent of the Earldom of Ancaster, went missing at sea in 1963, never to be seen again.

Lady Willoughby succeeded as 28th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby upon the death of her father in 1983, at which time the Earldom of Ancaster became extinct. She inherited 75,000 acres (300 km²) in Lincolnshire, England and Perthshire in Scotland and is listed each year at around the 50th position on the Sunday Times Rich List. She is a joint hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain and sat in the House of Lords as a crossbencher.
