Wintringham village is about two miles south of the main road from Malton to Scarborough. The church is near the Hall and south of the village on the quiet road south that climbs up onto the Wolds; it is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It is a plain late Gothic building with spire on west tower, an aisled nave, and a chancel which is described as ‘Norman’ (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 759). The stone used seems in part to be the local Jurassic. The church was restored in 1823 and 1867-8; on the fieldworker's first visit in 2007 work was in progress for the Churches Conservation Trust, who had taken it over in 2004.
While the chancel is doubtfully 12thc., there is a capacious plain cylindrical font which is genuinely ‘Norman’.
