Theddlethorpe Lifeboat Station is a former Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) station, which was located near the village of Theddlethorpe St Helen in the county of Lincolnshire.
A lifeboat was first stationed here by the Lincolnshire Coast Shipwreck Association (LCSA) in 1829. The station was taken over by the RNLI in 1864.
With problems finding enough local crew, and further difficulties launching the boat at that location, the RNLI closed the station in 1882, and opened a new station at Mablethorpe, just down the coast, in 1883.[1]
