Welton’s history dates back 1000 years to the Viking/Dane invasion. William the Conqueror owned Lincoln and gave the parish to the bishop to endow six prebends which provided income to support six canons attached to the Cathedral, with the roads named Brickhall, Beckhall, Rivehall, Westhall, Painshall and Prebend Lane.
The old coach house, the Black Bull, is steeped in history and was well known as the local haunt of Guy Gibson and his Dambuster colleagues. Many reports over the years have been of inexplicable sounds believed to be of an unseen phantom walking up the 18 stairs to the restaurant, switching items to places they weren’t left!
