Clifton Wintringham senior (baptized 1689 – 1748) was an English medical practitioner, appointed Physician at York County Hospital in March 1746.
[5] He later published data, one of a number of physicians of the time concerned to understand the relationship of climate and disease.
[7] Clifton wrote extensively on a range of medical topics, with a particular interest in the early branch of epidemiology (analysis of the distribution, patterns and determinants of health and disease control.)
On his death Wintringham's eldest son was instrumental in compiling two volumes of his father’s Collected Works.
Wintringham was married twice: his first wife Elizabeth was daughter of Richard Nettleton of Earls Heath, Yorkshire.
