John Winnington-Ingram

John Winnington-Ingram, the owner of Old Manor Farm, Cottisford, passed away at the age of 94 on St Patrick’s Day, 2021.

A devout Christian throughout his life, it was a major decision for John not to enter the church, but to instead become a Newspaperman. Nevertheless, John was always closely involved with his local PCC (Parochial Church Council) wherever he lived. He was active on the Cottisford PCC for some 30 years until a few months before his death.

Now, his sons and heirs (Nicholas and Gerald Winnington-Ingram) wish to carry on the Winnington-Ingram family Ecclesiastical Legacy by making Old Manor Farm into a base from which they can do God’s Work in the world via the Old Manor Farm Preservation Trust.

The three general focal areas of the Old Manor Farm Preservation Trust are as follows:

  • Support individuals and organisations dedicated to Making Earth Godly Again
  • Help people to develop a deeper personal relationship with God
  • Provide a “spiritual sanctuary” and “religious retreat” for Clergy, People of Faith and Spiritual Seekers

In 2009, John Winnington-Ingram was a recipient of The Order of St Frideswide, which is an honour bestowed by The Church of England, Diocese of Oxford in recognition of those people who have made a distinctive and significant contribution to the life and well-being of the diocese. These awards were first awarded in 2001.

Reverend Arthur Henry Winnington-Ingram was born on 5 October 1818. He was the son of Reverend Edward Winnington-Ingram and Jane Onslow.2 He married Sophia Mary Arnold, daughter of Lt.-Col. George Arnold, on 25 January 1849. He died on 6 March 1887 at age 68. He was the Rector at Harvington, Worcestershire, England.

He held the office of Hon. Canon of Worcester. He held the office of Justice of the Peace (J.P.) Church list has A. H. Winnington Ingram 1845. Cleric. Matric Christchurch 19 Oct 1837, aged 19; BA 1841, MA 1848; hon. Canon of Worcester 1854; Rector of Harvington 1845 until his death on 6 March 1887. See Foster’s Baronetage & Rugby School Reg.

Much of the following has been extracted from Marjorie Biley’s History of Harvington: Arthur Henry Winnington-Ingram was Honorary Canon of the Cathedral, an Inspector of Schools, Chairman of the Magistrates at Evesham. He was a geologist, an astronomer, an antiquary and a poet. His volumes of poetry were “The Doom of the Godds of Hellas” and “The Brides of Dinan” in which he describes the Battle of Evesham.

In 1879 he founded the Bonaker Charity in connection with Worcester Infirmary using a legacy bequeathed to him by his friend Rev. William Baldwin Bonaker. This amounted to over £20,000 the largest sum ever received. (before Lord Nuffield). His considerable collection both geological and archaeological is at Worcester Victoria Institute.

He was a strict disciplinarian and was known to have said to widow Mary Savage, who had been granted “a loaf and a shilling a week” from Evesham Board of Guardians “it’s a poor hen that can’t scratch for one chick”. She had lost her husband and two children in a diphtheria epidemic in 1877. Another example of his strictness – he used to visit houses on Monday morning to see why the children were not in church on Sunday. Then he caned them at school.

Reverend Winnington-Ingram and his wife Sophia had a major influrence on Harvington over his 42 years incumbancy. He comes over as a typical Victorian vicar, in this case Rector. The Winnington-Ingrams came from a wealthy and long established family and found the existing rectory far too small, so they built the whole of the east wing with two large downstairs rooms making the Rectory a classic large Victorian rectory.

There was also a major restoration of the Church in 1855 under his incumbancy, see Bailey. When Winnington-Ingram died on 6 March 1887, his wife had the Reading Room built in his memory. He and his wife are buried in the churchyard. J Stephenson was a Curate for Arthur Winnington-Ingram and lived at Langton House.
