Up until 1889 about 30 Baptists had been meeting in the Temperance Hall on Millards Hill in Welton, but because of its dilapidated condition they were looking for another building. A few hundred yards away, the Primitive Free Methodists were also moving to another building, so the Baptists offered £680 for the Methodist Church which had been built in 1830. The offer was accepted and Welton Baptist Church was established in West Road in 1889. Church numbers remained fairly low for many years but during the 1970's and 80's numbers rose from 32 in 1974 to over a hundred in 1989.
The Church is in sight from the cache location if you climb up a few steps.
