 England Early Origins of the Wintringham familyThe surname Wintringham was first found in Lincolnshire at Winteringham, a parish, in the union of Glandford-Brigg, N. division of the wapentake of Manley, parts of Lindsey.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fortis esto non ferox
Motto Translation: Be brave, not ferocious.
