The Anglo-Saxon tower of All Saints' church has typical bell-openings with mid-wall shafts.

It was heightened in Early English style (13th century) and in the 15th century Perpendicular battlements and pinnacles were added.

Winterton's War Memorial was unveiled on 11 December 1920, but not in its present location. The site selected was the junction of Earlsgate (B1430) and Roxby Road (A1077).
 
Highway alterations at the junction in 1967 forced its relocation to All Saints' churchyard.

A plaque above the front door states: "John Wesley preached at Winterton on 8 August 1761."
 
He wrote of the occasion "I preached at Winterton to such a congregation as I suppose never met there before." He preached in the High Street because he had been prevented from using All Saints church.
