Welton nr. Hull / Welleton

There is an try for this Welton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE9527/welton/] [accessed 12 November 2023]; it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The listing for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE9589627305] notes: "Church. C15 with earlier origins, rebuilt in geometrical style, reusing some older materials, by Sir G G Scott 1862-3" [no font mentioned]. The baptismal font is the 19th-century replacement installed probably during the 1863 rebuilding of this church by G.G. Scott. It is the usual piece of confused mongrel Victoriana, a square basin somewhat reminiscent of the Norman fonts, but with the large indented trefoil arches of the Early English period; the base is equally awkward, with a broad quadrangular central shaft made of the same stone as the basin, and four outer colonnettes with the multicoloured polished stems so in vogue in 19th-century fonts. [NB: the original church is said to go back at least to William Rufus' time, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
