"WINTERTON is an ancient fishing village, lying in a bay, 8 miles N. by W. of Yarmouth, and sheltered on the north-east by that bold promontory called Winterton Ness, well known to the mariner as the most fatal headland between Scotland and London. The parish had 719 inhabitants in 1841, including 131 fishermen, who were absent when the census was taken. It contains 1562 acres of land, exclusive of a large extent of sea-beach and warren. The soil belongs chiefly to Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., and the Earl of Winterton. The latter is lord of the manor, and the former patron of the rectory, which is valued in the King's Books at £20.13s.4d., and has annexed to it the curacy of East Somerton. The Rev. J. Nelson, B.A., is the incumbent. The joint benefices were valued, in 1841, at £492 per annum. The Church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity and All Saints, has a fine embattled tower, ... The Light House stands on a lofty summit, " [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]

Winterton, on the coast, seven miles north of Yarmouth, lies in a soil reckoned the fattest in all England, and the most easy to be ploughed. Here is a fair on July 5; but the market declined on the advance of Yarmouth. The church is a handsome structure, but the houses of the inhabitants very mean. Great part of the cliff was washed down in 1665. There is a promontary here called Winterton-ness, on which there is a light-house, which is under the control of the Trinity-house in London.
