On this day in Winteringham ....


1898:   A notice was placed in the Stamford Mercury stating that Mr W J Proctor would be attending the Ferry Boat Inn and checking all weights and measures brought to him, and stamping them as accurate (if they were so).

Bernard Hunsley

 

I am interested in anything and everything to do with Mill/Mills in Winteringham and North Lincs. My name is Michael WINN, I am a direct relative of Mary Ann Judge (nee WINN)and her husband Charles Judge.
Mary was indeed born in Blyton, she was baptised on 13th Sept. 1811, and her father Robert Winn built the Mill at Blyton in 1825. She also had a brother Robert Lightfoot and a sister Elizabeth.
Her father Robert also had a brother William, Alkborough Mill, a brother Thomas at Glentham Mill, and a brother John at Tealby Water Mill.
Mary Ann Judge had 7 children, Martha, Robert, Charles, Joseph, William, Mary and Sarah. You will by now have guessed that I am tracing the "WINN" Family Tree.
On my Tree I also have a marriage in Winterton in 1799 between a Sarah Codd and William WINN and a marriage in 1824 between a Mary Naylor and William WINN.
Someone in your article was also interested in Grasby? Robert Winn's father, John Winn married a Mary Grasby in Caenby in 6th Nov.1760, Mary was baptised in Thimbleby in 1723.
Also in the article you stated that in 16th Nov. 1943 Herbert Clayton sold Mill House for £450 on16th Nov 1905, advert for the purchase of fixed machinery and Plant at Winteringham Roller flour Mill.  Any more details of the above would be welcome.
If you could send me a copy of your article and any drawings/sketches/photos etc. appertaining to the same and/or any thing on any other Lincs Mills would be greatly appreciated
 

It may be Hull City of Culture 2017, but the same year marks Winteringham’s own historic year - 700 years since the charter awarding a market each Wednesday and an annual fair.  There is now an accurate translation of the charter, and it is intended to have a calligrapher make a copy to be kept in the parish for posterity!  Knights and minstrels are already booked for the event!  Keep an eye on this website, or on the special Winteringham Festival website for further details (click here for the Festival website).

A much larger version of this postcard can be found on the Hi-Res photos site

Winteringham
in May Days of Old

May 1st 1700s
Thomas Adam wrote: On May Day the common pasture called the Marsh was stocked with horses, cows, and other cattle. On this occasion it was usual to have bull-fighting, and the worst passions of the owners were stirred up.

May 1st 1820s
Milkmaids always dressed the lugs (ears or handles) of their milk kits (buckets) with leaves on May Day morning.

May 1st Undated
(undated. From "The Lost Playing Places of Lincolnshire") In the town of Winteringham, near the Humber, revelers annually affixed a May garland to an old stump "in the cattle pasture" as part of May games and "a milking feast."

May 1st 1850
CH Holgate, coroner, held an inquest into the body of a man found floating at the mouth of the Haven.  There was no-one to claim or identify the deaceased, but it was thoiught he belonged to a vessell which sunk at Trent Falls about 2 months previously.  Verdict: drowned. [Village registers report he was buried in the churchyard the following day)

May 1st 1907
A select committee of the House of Commons was convened to hear of proposals to make Winteringham a port, with railway lines each side of the Haven, and to embank the river so that vessels could come in and load the ironstone from the railway.  The pier had been abandoned, and the cost of the works was "about £25,000."

May 1st 1915
The village not only took delivery of a new sanitary cart, but was paraded round the village for inspection!  A humourous report in the local paper declared that the only fly in the ointment was that it had to be paid for!

May 1st 1928
The GPO published notice that a new telegraph line would be erected between the existing line at the West End Chapel, down to the Church on the south side of the road.

May 2nd 1796
Meeting at House of Mr George Bell: re enclosure:

May 2nd 1936
Discussions took place at Lindsey County Council to consider the road between Winteringham and South Ferriby.  It could mean money spent protecting the existing road, or building a new road further back.  There would be a 60% grant from government for a new road, but that would be 75% if provision was allowed to make a dual carriageway there in the future!

May 2nd 2005
Winteringham 60th Anniversary celebrations of VE Day

May 3rd 1656
