“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
