There is documentary evidence of a Chapel in Welton from Anglo-Saxon times, but the current building is principally in the perpendicular style of the fifteenth century with parts that date back to the thirteenth century.  The large windows of the church allow much light into the building, making it a beautiful environment for services, weddings, christening and funerals.  The church comfortably seats around 100 people, although it has been known for us to squash 150 in for a high-profile event. 

In the Church, there is a History Reflection Trail which people can follow to learn about the History of the Church at the same time as reflecting on the Christian message. Please see our History inside our Church page.

The Church pews in the south aisle have been removed, which provides a flexible area for coffee, meetings, children’s activities, etc.  There is a small vestry in the North Aisle. 

The organ was installed in the 1950s and has recently been restored.  We are lucky to have a regular organist who lives in the village.

There are five bells in the tower, the oldest dating back to circa 1600.  They are currently rung on a fourth Sunday by a team who also ring at Ashby St. Ledgers and Braunston.

In the Churchyard there is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission WW1 grave of Private Thomas Wootton 1917.

The Church Yard “extension” is at the edge of the village, on Ashby Road.
