There is an entry for Welburn [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SE7168/welburn/] [accessed 29 January 2025] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin decorated with deeply-carved panels with figures and symbols (cross, shield, etc.) on the sides; figures and foliage on the underbowl chamfer; deeply-carved arches or windows on the stem, and moulded lower base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat. The whole thing appears Victorian. [NB: Burton (1999) mentions a church in Welburn in the 12th century, but we have no information on either that church or an ealier font of that church].
