Donative Curates, Officiating Ministers and Vicars

The church was a donative curacy, together with Maplebeck. The patronage was in the hands of the Burnell family who owned Winkburn from 1549 to 1933.

Donatives were abolished in 1898.

In 1938 the living was made a vicarage in the gift of the Bishop of Southwell.
