Winterton on Sea Church

The fishing heritage of Winterton is apparent as soon as you walk through the door of Holy Trinity and All Saints Church. Nets from one of the last fishing boats that made a living from the beach hang from the walls and at the back of the church is Fisherman's Corner with a crucifix carved from ships' timbers.
The feature was the idea of Fr Clarence Porter, who was rector between 1925 and 1932.

It's fascinating how the nets hang. They look almost like illustrations from a textbook ofmathematics. Very cool

Old churches are always worth visiting, not least to read the local history of the area. On the coast fishing was a mainstay and many churches that we have seen too celebrate the fact, Well done and thanks for sharing.
