William Charles Winterton (2 June 1822 — 8 December 1898) was an English first-class cricketer.
Winterton was born at the Leicestershire village of Thurmaston in June 1822. He was an important figure in Cambridge cricket, making his debut in first-class cricket for the Cambridge Town Club against Cambridge University as 17–year old in 1839 at Parker's Piece.[1] Winterton played first-class cricket over a period of 22 years, making 18 appearances.[2] His opportunities in the Cambridge side had become lessened by the emergence of Daniel Hayward in the early 1850s.[1] Playing as a wicket-keeper, he was described in James Pycroft's 1854 edition of The Cricket Field as a cricketer who "carries great weight with him at the wicket".[3] In 18 first-class matches, Winterton scored 170 runs at an average of 7.39, with a highest score of 27. As a wicket-keeper he also made three stumpings.[4] Winterton was also a useful right-arm roundarm fast bowler, taking 4 wickets in first-class cricket.[5] He died in Leicestershire at Rothley in December 1898.
