208B. Off Church Street, Willingham, Cambridgeshire Located within the grounds of Willingham House is a short length of tubular steel pipe supporting (what appears to be) a Revo C14038 / C14040 'Festival Junior' lantern, designed for two or four 20 / 40 Watt 2 ft (600 mm) fluorescent lamps. As its name suggests, the Festival Junior is the smaller version of Revo's distinctive Festival post-top, which could accommodate four 80 Watt 5 ft (1524 mm) fluorescent lamps. The lantern is unlikely to be operated any longer, particularly with two businesses that occupied Willingham House at separate times (a hotel and a college) both appearing to have become defunct.
The lantern is visible through the gated entrance on Church Street.
The Perspex bowl appears to have a small crack in its surface, but is otherwise intact.
