Winestead is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Holderness. It is seven miles south-east of the town of Hedon and a mile and a half north-west of Patrington, to the north of the A1033 road.
This village is the ancient seat of the Hildyard/Hilliard/Hildegardis family, whose ancestry is believed to be of Saxon origin. The Hildyard family of Winestead became extinct on the death of Sir Robert D'Arcy Hildyard, Bart., who died without heirs in 1814. Hildyard bequeathed his estates to his niece, Ann Catherine Whyte, who married in the following year Thomas Blackborne Thoroton, Esq., of Flintham Hall, Flintham, Nottingham. Colonel Thoroton of the Coldstream Guards subsequently assumed the name and coat-of-arms of Hildyard.[1] His heirs, who still have the surname Hildyard, reside at Flintham Hall today.[2] The Hildyard family lived at Winestead for 10 generations, and even after the death of the last Baronet, the heirs continued to own Winestead Hall.[3][4]
In 1823 inhabitants in the village numbered 129. Occupations included six farmers.[5]
The parish church, St Germain, is a Grade I listed building.[6]
The White Hall is a Grade II* listed building.[7]
Winestead was served from 1854 to 1964 by Winestead railway station on the Hull and Holderness Railway.[8]
