St Bartholomew's Church is a Grade I listed Anglican church dedicated to Bartholomew the Apostle, in Welby, Lincolnshire, England. It is situated north-east from Grantham, and east from High Dyke, part of the old Ermine Street Roman road. The church is in the ecclesiastical parish and Group of Ancaster and Wilsford, in the Deanery of Loveden, and the Diocese of Lincoln.〔("Welby D C C" ), Diocese of Lincoln, Retrieved 30 June 3013〕 ==History== In the 1086 ''Domesday'' account Welby is recorded with a priest and a church.〔("Welby" ), Domesdaymap.co.uk. Retrieved 30 June 2013〕 St Bartholomews's parish register dates from 1569. In c.1400 the south side of the church nave was rebuilt. In 1873 the north aisle was extended and the chancel rebuilt by J. H. Hakewill, at a cost of £450, who matched the Early English style.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus; Harris, John; ''The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire'' p. 704; Penguin, (1964); revised by Nicholas Antram in 1989, Yale University Press. ISBN 0-300-09620-8〕 A church organ was added at the same time, at a cost of £140. In 1887 a carved oak Gothic reredos was installed.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 701〕〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire'' 1933, p. 598〕 In the 19th and into the 20th century, Welby was part of the rural deanery of Grantham north, and archdeaconry and Diocese of Lincoln. The living included a rectory, the gift of the Bishop of Lincoln. In 1824 Rev'd William Dodwell bequeathed to the parish £1,608 11s. 6d., with the bank annuities of 2½% to be used for the benefit of the poor. From the yearly dividend £15 was given to the schoolmaster for the education of six boys and six girls, and £10 for the apprenticing of a poor boy, with the remainder to provide clothing and coal to poor parishioners. From 1867 the rector was Rev'd William Armetriding Frith MA, of Worcester College, Oxford, and from 1926, the Rev'd Thomas Augustus Child BD, of London University.〔〔 A parish diary exists with entries dating from the 1860s to 1968. The diary records reorientation of seating, the 1872 addition of a stove within the body of the church, and, in 1927, the partial laying of a concrete floor under the nave and chancel.〔("St Bartholomew's Church, Welby, Lincs - Archeological Watching Brief" ), Lindsey Archeological Services. Archaeologydataservice.ac.uk. Retrieved 30 June 2013〕 In 2001 Lindsey Archaeological Services were commissioned by Welby Parochial Church Council to provide a watching brief on an archeological investigation prior to the installation of underfloor heating. Pews and pew platforms were removed, and investigation trenches dug under flagstone floors in the north aisle, and the north and south sides of the nave. Finds included the existence of a previous lime mortar floor, stained glass and window lead fragments, 15th- to 19th-century pottery, graves, and shroud pins.〔 The church received a National Heritage Grade I listing in 1966. Welby Parochial Church Council has gained funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for restoration.〔("Welby PCC" ), Heritage Lottery Fund.
