Welton le Wold is a village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, about four miles west of the nearest town, Louth.
In the Domesday Book of 1086, Welton appears as consisting of 57 households.[1]
The parish church, St Martin's, dates from the 14th century and was restored in 1849 by S. S. Teulon. The west tower and the font are 14th-century. The church is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
There was formerly a school here, Welton le Wold C of E School; a red-brick school built as a National School in 1840 and reorganised as a junior school in 1928. It closed in July 1974[3] but the building is Grade II listed.[4]
