About This Town
Winterton, is a small town, a parish, and a sub-district, in Glanford-Brigg district, Lincoln. The town stands 7½ miles WSW of Barton-upon-Humber. It appears, from the discovery of some tesselated pavements and other Roman relics, to occupy the site of a Roman settlement. Winterton was a seat of petty-sessions and carries on the making of machines and agricultural implements. Winterton has a post-office, a police station, a village hall, an early English church with Norman tower, two Methodist chapels, a national acadamy school, a weekly corn-market on Wednesday, and cattle fairs on the Tuesday before Palm-Sunday and 23 September. The parish comprises 3,628 acres where Winterton is now part of North Lincolnshire district.
In October 1968, during road-widening works on the A1077, workers found a massive stone coffin containing a skeleton later identified as being that of a young woman aged between 20 and 25 years of age, who stood 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m) tall (the so-called Winterton Lady). She was of high status, as evidenced by the high quality of the coffin made from a single block of limestone and she was also found to be laid on a sheet of lead. Down the hill from this spot are the remains of one of the Winterton Roman villas, which is famous for its mosaic pavements where it is most likely she lived.
The village's name is thought to mean the ‘farmstead, the village or the estate of the Winteringas ', who were perhaps followers or dependants of someone called Winter or Wintra. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the place is called variously Wintrintune, once; Wintrintone, four times; Wintritone, twice and Wintretune, once.
