Find out more about the history of Welton through old photographs, village artefacts, presentations and fascinating information about some of our parishioners.

You’ll be surprised at who has lived in our small rural village. The young Russian boy with an impressive pedigree. The future governor of Newfoundland. The aristocrats who lived in a mansion and entertained royalty. The man who made crowns for kings.

You’ll be able to examine items including a bell from the battlefields of WW1, the workings of the original church clock and learn about life in a Victorian school by reading the actual head teacher logs from more than 100 years ago.

We’ll be hosting a display of paintings by Eric Fleming, a young boy in Welton in the 1920s, whose work beautifully captures life at that time.

Bring the kids and follow our heritage trail around the village – every child who takes part gets a sweet treat.
