Winteringham is a village in North Lincolnshire, England, on the south bank of the Humber Estuary.
The Romans founded a settlement probably called Ad Abum in this area. [1] It was where Ermine Street, the major Roman road between Londinium (London) and Lincoln, terminated on the south bank of the Humber. Travellers then crossed the river by way of a ferry or low-tide ford to Petuaria (Brough) on the north bank where Cade's Road continued on to Eboracum (York) and Hadrian's Wall. A pre-Roman ridgeway, called Yarlesgate or Earlsgate, may have also resumed here on its route south and south-west towards the Midlands and South West England. [1]
The village, and its neighbour Winterton to the south, were possibly named after Wintra – the first King of Lindsey.
The Domesday Book of 1086 describes the locale as a prosperous place with three mills, a fishery and a ferry. It became the seat of a branch of the Marmion family. [2]
In the 19th century there were two maltkilns, a mill, boatyard, brewery, brickyards and by 1907, the North Lindsey Light Railway.
The Michelin Star Winteringham Fields restaurant is situated near the centre of the village. [3] There is one public house, the Bay Horse at West End. In High Burgage is a corner shop and a post office. In Low Burgage is the local Methodist Chapel, on a road which leads to Winteringham Haven. On Market Hill, off High Burgage, is the local primary school (Winteringham Primary School), on School Road.
Winteringham is also approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) from a wildfowl refuge on the River Humber while also being approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the Winteringham Haven Wildlife Reserve.
