1793: Universal British Directory
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.
