The surname Winnicott was first found in Durham where they held a family seat at Wingate (now Wingate-Grange), in the parish of Kelloe. 1 2
Wingate dates back to c. 1070-1080 when it was first listed as Windegatum and literally meant "wind-swept gap(s) or pass(es)" from the Old English words "wind-geat." The township of Windgates is in Northumberland and it dates back to 1208 when it was first listed as Wyndegates. 3
Not withstanding the above, we must look to Northumberland for the first record of the family. For it is there that Aldret de Windegate c. 1145-1165 was registered. Over in Kent, Henry de Wingate was found there in the Pipe Rolls of 1204. And the Subsidy Rolls of 1332 listed David de Windyates in Cumberland in 1332. 4
