Winestead is a village in the civil parish of Patrington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately seven miles (eleven kilometres) south-east of Hedon and 1+1⁄2 miles (2.5 kilometres) north-west of Patrington. It is situated to the north of the A1033 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 153. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Patrington. The name Winestead possibly derives from the Old English wīfstede meaning 'women's place'. Another theory derives it from Wifastede or Wifestede, meaning 'Wifa/Wife's place'. It is also the ancient seat of the Hildyard/Hilliard/Hildegardis family, whose ancestry is believed to be of Saxon origin. The Hildyard family of Winestead became extinct on the death of Sir Robert D'Arcy Hildyard, Bart., who died without heirs in 1814. Hildyard bequeathed his estates to his niece, Ann Catherine Whyte, who married in the following year Thomas Blackborne Thoroton, Esq., of Flintham Hall, Flintham, Nottingham. Col. Thoroton of the Coldstream Guards subsequently assumed the name and coat-of-arms of Hildyard. His heirs, who still have the surname Hildyard, reside at Flintham Hall today. The Hildyard family lived at Winestead for 10 generations, and even after the death of the last Baronet, the heirs continued to own Winestead Hall. In 1823 inhabitants in the village numbered 129. Occupations included six farmers. The church of St Germain was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.

Patrington Haven is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) south-east of the town of Hedon and 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of the village of Patrington. It forms part of the civil parish of Patrington and was historically called Havenside and had a port on the haven, an arm of water that stretched south towards the North Channel of the Humber estuary (now known as Winestead Drain). The port was closed in 1869 due to siltation of the channels which made the watercourses not able to be navigated by boats. The hamlet has a pub called the Burns Head that is directly opposite the village green with the pond stocked with fish. The village of Patrington, just 1 mile (1.6 km) away, is dominated by its church known locally as "The Queen of Holderness". Surrounding the church are four public houses, and a fifth public house in Patrington Haven itself. In Patrington Haven is an established 5 Star Award Winning Leisure Park called "Patrington Haven Leisure Park". The leisure park was established around 1985 when the RAF Station Patrington closed and the land purchased was by the leisure park. In June 2013 a memorial sculpture to the RAF station was unveiled at the site. The village was visited by the Beatles in November 1963 before playing a gig in nearby Hull. The fab four enjoyed a pint and sing-song in the Burns Head pub before returning to Hull.
