THE PROPOSED RAILWAY BETWEEN BRIGG AN D LINCOLN.
 'The following correspondence appears in a contemporary : - Sir, - May I express a hope that the promoters of this scheme may be induced to consider the propriety of extending the proposed scheme, so as to continue their line from Brigg alone; the Carrs in a northerly direction? The Ancholme banks afford a straight level line from Brigg to Ferriby Sluice, and I should imagine it would be greatly to the advantage of
the few large proprietors who own those banks to make them over as a free gift to the Railway Company, on the sole condition of accommodation being provided for the different villages. A line such as I have suggested, would pass throng the parishes of Elsham, Worlaby, Bonby, Saxby,  Horkstow, and Ferriby. The coal traffic to those villages as well as the transport of agricultural produce and farming requisites would be considerable, and the same line would afford equally convenient accommodation to Broughton, Appleby, Roxby, Winterton, and Winteringham, that is if the stations were arranged with due care. A line thus made would open out a large tract of country and a considerable population, now almost destitute of railways. 

It would be obviously a wise course to extend the line from Ferriby along the Humber bank to Barton, and then connect it with Hull or Grimsby, via New Holland.

I enclose my card, but subscribe myself - C.W.M..
Sir, - A letter appeared in Tuesday's Lincolnshire Chronicle signed "C.W.M.", advocating the extension of the above across the Carrs in a northerly direction,
Which must end at Ferriby Sluice by reason of coming in contact with the Humber. Now, the proposed line would run through the parishes named, but, in each instance, the railway station would be a great distance from the villages. If the proposed
line from Lincoln was to join the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway at Scawby, and then continue northwards through Scawby village, Broughton village, Appleby village and to Winterton, it would be of great service, and would give direct communication to a large number of the now isolated inhabitants with Lincoln. Not only would this be the  case, but a junction would be formed with the
Trent and Ancholme Railway at Appleby, thus giving communication with Hull, Grimsby, &c. , on the one side, and Doncaster, Frodingham, &.c., on the other. - A line of this description would be of immense advantage to the district as well as commercially.-Yours, &C., M. W.

Winteringham has an earthquake ... epicentre at Market Rasen and 5.4 on the Richter scale.  No-one hurt, but villagers were advised to check their buildings for any damage

February 28th 1726
Mary Waddingham, daughter of George and Anne, was baptised. George Waddingham was noted in the Parish Register as a Quaker.

“Winteringham is indeed now a beautiful place: the trees are in full verdure, the crops are browning the fields and my former walks are become dry underfoot which I have never known them to be before.  The opening vista, from our churchyard, over the Humber, to the hills and receding vales of Yorkshire assumes a thousand new aspects.  I sometimes watch it at evening when the sun is just gilding the summits of the hills, and the lowlands are beginning to take a browner hue.  The showers partially falling in the distance, while all is serene above me, the swelling sail rapidly falling down the river; and not least of all, the villages, woods and villas on the opposite bank, sometimes render this scene quite enchanting to me.”
Henry Kirke White August 1804
