He was the eldest of three sons and four daughters of the former Joanna Taylor and Sir Thomas Winnington, 3rd Baronet, of Stanford Court, Stanford-on-Teme, Worcestershire. His paternal grandfather was Sir Edward Winnington, 2nd Baronet and his maternal grandfather was John Taylor of Moseley Hall in Worcester.
He was educated at Eton College before matriculating at Christ Church, Oxford.

He succeeded his father as a Member of Parliament for Bewdley, serving first from 1837 to 1847 and again from 1852 to 1868; and as High Sheriff of Worcestershire from 1851 to 1852.
Upon his father's death in September 1839, he inherited all of his father's property and succeeded to the baronetcy.
