Welton le Wold book now available

History Book of Welton le Wold is now published. Welton le Wold, near Louth, is today a quiet farming hamlet nestling in the Lincolnshire Wolds. But it has a rich history going back to the time of Domesday and beyond. Past and present residents of Welton le Wold have joined together and, with financial assistance from the lottery, published a book about the village. The book gives an account of the features of this charming Wolds village, but above all remembers some of the prominent characters, families and events that have brought life to the community over the past century or so. With 120 pages and over 300 photographs and images, this book makes an engaging read. Available from Debbie Lishman at £9.99 on 01507 450271 and weltonbook@aim.com
