Winteringham
in January Days of Old

January - Winteringham’s “month of meetings”

1st January 1883
NATIONAL MIXED SCHOOL.- A New Year's treat in the shape of an excellent tea, &c., was provided on New Year's Day for the whole of the children attending the school, being the result of an appeal made to the principal employers of labour and others in the parish, and how liberally this was responded to a sight of the tables, literally loaded with a variety of good things, amply testified.  As might be expected, ample justice was done to the repast, the joyful countenances of the children needing no words to express their thankfulness.  After tea the evening was spent in games of various kinds, interspersed with singing and busy scrambles for apples, nuts, and sweets, of which there was a liberal supply.  At the conclusion the children were addressed by the Rector, the Rev C. Knowles, their hearty cheers afterwards bearing full testimony - if any were needed - to the manner in which they had enjoyed themselves.  A couple of oranges being given to each child, the singing of the National Anthem closed a pleasant evening's entertainment. The following were the ladies and gentlemen who so kindly contributed to the entertainment, some in money, some in kind, and others in both: - Mrs Chapman, Mrs Knowles, Mrs Robert Burkill, Mrs Joshia Robinson, Mrs Pulleine, Mrs Frank Robinson, Mrs Sutton, Mrs Josheph [sic] Burkill, Mrs Bickell, Miss Scarborough [sic], Mrs Hy. Burkill, sen., Mrs Henry Burkill, jun., Mrs Dickenson, Mrs E Brumby, Miss Fanny Burkill, and Mrs Lord.  There will be a slight balance in hand; this is proposed to be spent in prizes, to be given after the examination by Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools.

1st January 1886
At a tea party, held at the Rectory, on New Year's Day, the united ages of eleven of the guests (road-men) amounted to 753 years.

5th January 1880
WESLEYAN BAND OF HOPE. - On Monday, the 5th inst., a lecture was delivered by the Rev. J. Whitely, principal of St. Augustine School, Hull, in the National Schoolroom, kindly lent by the Rev. C. Knowles, who presided over the meeting.  In the course of his lecture, which lasted a little over an hour, the lecturer spoke of the benefit of total abstinence, which had been proved by many present for muscular energy, and by himself for brain work.  The parents and friends of the young were strongly urged to help forward the movement.  After speaking of the self-sacrifice of One whose example all were urged to follow, who so looked at our interests as a race, that He gave His life a ransom for ours, instances of heroic conduct and self-sacrificing courage in the history of our country were placed before the minds of the people. The rev. gentleman went on to show the danger in the present educational policy of our country of cramming rather than opening the intellect of our youth, and concluded with a warm appeal to the young men and women present to become thinkers, and thus general benefactors of their village and nation.  The audience was large, and listened throughout with rapt attention, broken only by frequent bursts of applause, which demonstrations were loud and long. We are glad to learn that the lecturer has promised to pay the village another visit during the coming season.

ALTERATIONS IN THE CHANNEL ROUND WHITTON NESS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the WHITTON NESS SAND has lately GROWN OUT considerably to the South Eastward of its ordinary extensions, and the West Side of the Pudding Pie Sand has to a great extent been scoured away, and a NEW CHANNEL to the Eastward of the late Channel has OPENED OUT, running in a Southerly direction towards Winteringham Haven.  Great care should at present be taken in navigating that part of the Humber, and especially as the present Channel, which is considered to be only temporary, is to the South Eastward of the line of the Lights at Winteringham.
Arrangements, of which due notice will be given, are being made for placing Temporary Lights on the Foreshore near Winteringham to assist the navigation through the new Channel.

Edward II granted a charter for a market and fair to be held at Winteringham, in 1317.

 

“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
