Guía de viaje

The church dates back to the 13th C. It has a western tower, nave with north and south aisles, the arcades of 3 bays are 13th Century, and chancel, vestry and porch. The tower was built in 1768. St Mary's was burnt down in 1442, the tower was rebuilt in 1768 and the body of the church in 1823 and it has not changed much since then. The east end is shaped like five sides of an octagon and is very unusual. A choir vestry was added in 1921 and was later extended to include kitchen and toilet facilities. During the building of the vestry it was discovered that the original body of the church went six feet further north. The church contains a hatchment, The Royal Coat of Arms of King George III dated 1838. At one time there was a gallery up against the west wall but it was removed in 1876 and at the same time the old box-pews were replaced with the present pine benches. The gallery would have been used for an orchestra up until 1851. In the north aisle there is a stained glass window by Burlison & Grylls commemorating Royal Air Force personnel who served in the First World War and another depicting Dr Richard Smith founder of Christ Hospital school in Lincoln. The chancel screen was erected in 1907 and the furninshings of the chancel and sanctuary are mainly as they were arranged in 1860. In the chancel are a couple of 17th century poppyhead pew ends brought to Welton from Norwich by Cannon Sutton of Brant Broughton. In the sanctuary the altar is of oak and stripped of it's hangings it looks like a large chest. The reredos was probably installed in 1888 and partly conceals the east windows which were installed by Rev W Williamson in 1855. The windows are memorials to Robert & Joanne Mawley of St Mary's, Alderney, in the City of London and Thomas Mawley, son of Sarah and Edward Westhall of Croydon, Surrey, The Welton connection is as yet unknown.

The background for this window consists of clouds coloured in airforce blue and the view of Lincoln Cathedral is seen from the air and was taken from a photograph provided by the RAF. The window comprises of 3 lights:- The centre light portrays St Michael the Archangel, fully armed, as patron of the Church Militant, piercing the Dragon of Evil, standing sentinel over the Cathedral of Lincoln. The Right Side Light shows various types of aeroplanes ascending, such as were flown by pilots at that time. These include the Sopwith Camel, Blackburn Bombers and Avros. There is also a distant view of an early submarine on the surface of the sea. The left hand light contains views of aeroplanes descending to their Hangers in the left foreground. At the top of the Lights can be seen four smaller lights. These feature the badges of the Royal Flying Corps, The Royal Naval Air Service, The Royal Air Force together with The Royal Flying Cross. The window was designed by Messrs Burlison & Grylls of 36, Great Ormond Street, London, WC1, from suggestions made by the Rev Alfred Hunt MA, Vicar of Welton, and was first unveiled and dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on 10th May 1921. This unique Memorial Window created considerable interest nationally and among the first to visit was Sir William Tritton the inventor of the Modern Tank. (From Church Guide Book)
