Parish records of Welburn

Includes register of services, 1896-1955; Vestry/Parochial Church Council records, including minutes of meetings, 1921-1955.

Welburn was a chapelry within the parish of Bulmer until 1986 when it became a parish in its own right, as part of a new benefice of Dalby, Terrington and Welburn.
The parish church, which is dedicated to St John, had been built between 1859 and 1865 by architects Mallinson & Healey of Bradford, on a site given by George Howard of nearby Castle Howard, the Earl of Carlisle.
Today the parish, which includes the village of Crambeck, is part of the Howardian Group benefice, which also includes Bulmer, Dalby, Huttons Ambo, and Terrington.

This arrangement was designed to reflect the principal activities of the parish and its associated organisations, and to aid researchers in identifying the records these activities generate. This arrangement was introduced in 2020. Records are arranged within the following alphabetical series but retain their original archival reference at file/item level:
A: Parish Registers
B: Church Ceremonial
C: Parish Clergy
D: Property - Religious
E: Property - Secular
F: Parish Administration and Officers
G: Parish Social and Evangelical Activities
H: Overseer of the Poor and Parish Charity
J: Schools
K: Promotional and Informational Material

Records are open to the public, subject to the overriding provisions of relevant legislation, including data protection laws. 24 hours' notice is required to access photographic material.

The archive was deposited at the Borthwick Institute in 1984 by the incumbent.
