| WINTERTON
is a small market town and parish, giving title to a petty sessional
division, 2 1/2 miles south from the Humber, 2 west from the river
Ancholme, 4 1/2 north from Appleby station on the South Yorkshire
branch of the Great Central (late M. S. and L.) railway, 8 west-south-west
from Barton and 10 north-north-west of Brigg, in the North Lindsey
division of the county, parts of Lindsey, northern division of Manley
wapentake, Glanford Brigg union, Barton-upon-Humber county district,
rural deanery of Manlake archdeaconry of Stow, and diocese of Lincoln.
The town, which was from 1863 controlled by a Local Board, is now
governed by an Urban District Council of 12 members, formed under
the provisions of the "Local Government Act of 1894" (56
and 57 Vict. c. 73), and is lighted with gas by a company, and amply
supplied with water from pumps. The great Roman road, Ermine Street,
joining London, Lincoln and York, passes through this parish. The
church of All Saints is a handsome and spacious building of stone
in the Norman and Early English styles, consisting of chancel, with
organ chamber on the north side, transept, nave of three bays, aisles,
north and south porches, and a western tower containing a clock and
6 bells, 5 cast in 1734, by Daniel Hedderly, and one in 1898, by Taylor,
of Loughborough : some of the windows are filled with modern stained
glass : over the communion table there is a painting of the "Holy
Family," by Raphael Mengs, presented by Lady Boynton : in the
floor of the chancel is a slab which has lost some of its brasses,
to John Rudd, merchant of the Staple at Calais, ob. 1504 : in the
chancel is a bas-relief of the arms of Peter Gering, ob. 1590 : a
grave slab of the Anglo-Saxon period now serves as the lintel of the
tower doorway : the chancel retains piscina and aumbry : the church
was restored during the period 1876-90, at a cost of £514, and
affords 465 sittings : the base and shaft of the old churchyard cross
remain near the south porch : in the churchyard is also a gravestone,
inscribed to William Teanby, who kept school in the church : he cut
the inscription himself, and used the stone as a table, while his
coffin served for a cupboard ; the inscription is a curious mixture
of Latin and English, and begins, "Prope Infra the turf lies
the sordid atoms of Alice, the wife of William Teanby, who died in
June, 1756, in the 31st year of her age" ; it ends with the record
of his own death in 1810 at the age of 97, added by a friend. The
register dates from about 1558, the earlier have been copied and the
rest carefully indexed by the late vicar. The living is a vicarage,
net yearly value £186, including 72 acres of glebe, with residence
in the gift of the Bishop of Lincoln, and held since 1898 by the Rev.
Charles Henry Gibbons. The Wesleyan chapel was built in 1877, at a
cost of about £3,000, and contains an organ : the old chapel,
erected in 1837, is now disused. A Lecture Hall was added in 1892,
at a cost of £600. The Primitive Methodist chapel was built
in1879, at a cost of about £1,500, and has attached a Sunday
school built at a cost of £200. A Cemetery of about 3 acres
in extent, with mortuary chapel and a house for the keeper, was formed
in 1876, at a cost of £2,000, and is under the control of a
burial board of 9 members. Jonathan Dent, an eccentric inhabitant
of this parish who died at the age of 91, was (at his own request)
buried in his garden : the tomb erected over his remains bears the
date 1834. The Police Station erected in 1853, includes a large hall.
The Oddfellows (formerly Temperance) Hall was built in 1850, at a
cost of £400. The fairs formerly held here have been transferred
to Scunthorpe. A corn market, established in 1826, is held every Wednesday
evening at the Cross Keys hotel. Agricultural implement and machine
making is carried on here, and an agricultural show takes place yearly
in the first week of July. Richd Beck, a surgeon, of Barton-upon-Humber,
left by his will, dated October 1728, two yearly rent-charges out
of the water-mill at Barrow, £3 3s. for educating poor children,
and £2 for the sick poor of this parish. A plot of land, of
nearly 3 acres, which lets for £6 a year was left for the repairs
of the church. The
substructure of a Roman boundary mark was discovered in 1868 in
the side of a sand pit near the road to Winteringham. Two beautiful
tesselated Roman pavements, as well as urns and other Roman antiquities
were discovered many years ago at a spot about 3 1/2 miles east
of the village on the Cliff farm. The late William Fowler, antiquary
and engraver, resided here. Winterton Hall is the residence of Mrs.
Clarke. The principal landowners are the trustees of the late W.
H. Driffill, esq., Major John William Dent, of Ribston Hall, Wetherby,
James and Calvert Popple, esqrs. and the Rev. Canon Joseph Jonathan
Dent Dent M.A. vicar of Hunsingore, Wetherby, W. Yorks. The soil
is loam, clay and sand ; subsoil, oolite and lias. The chief crops
are potatoes and barley. The area is 3,818 acres ; rateable value,
£6,713 ; the population in 1891 was 1,500.

and governed by a local board of health. The church of All Saints
is a handsome and spacious building in good repair, with a tower and
5 bells ; the lower part of the tower is of Norman architecture, and
the remainder of the building is in the Early English style : the
interior consists of chancel, nave, aisles and transepts : some of
the windows are filled with stained glass : over the communion table

built by Nicholson of Lincoln. The register dates from about 1558.
The living is a vicarage, yearly value £212 with residence,
