Winthorpe is a small coastal village in the civil parish of Skegness, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north from Skegness.
Winthorpe was both an ancient parish, and a civil parish, until 1 April 1926 when it was abolished. A small part of it enlarged Addlethorpe parish, and the larger part of it enlarged Skegness parish.[1] In 1921 the parish had a population of 698.[2] The manor belonged to Lord Monson.[1]
The church is dedicated to Saint Mary and is a Grade I listed building dating from the 13th century, although most of it is 15th-century.[3][4] Today St Marys forms part of the Skegness Group of Churches, which also includes: St Matthews, Skegness; St Clement, Skegness; St Peter and St Paul, Ingoldmells; and St Nicholas, Addlethorpe.[5]
