Welton – St Martin.

Posted by: churches in Daventry District, Northamptonshire

Parish church of St. Martin, Welton.

Gravestone of John Hewitt, lost and starved to death aged 6. The simple font is late medieval.

The pulpit was carved by local villagers, a wooden alms box stands by the door, and a C18 memorial plaque on the wall beside the pulpit.

The C19 polychrome marbles and malachite floor, is reputed to be a Russian gift.

WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, AND BRILLIANTLY DONE -- however, the one curch for which I really want images of internal plaques, memorial stones, effigies etc is St Nicholas, Stanford-on-avon --- sadly, I cannot receive anything on this particular church --- only thing available is via "something-lite slides", and NOTHING AT ALL COME THROUGH -- I would really like to see images within the St Nicholas -- what chance please??
John Hill -- THANKS

Unfortunately the church at Stanford-on-Avon is kept locked so I only have exterior photographs. I do intend revisiting in the near future if I can locate a key holder first. If there is anything specific that you'd like to see then you can contact me and I'll see what I can do.
