For me, church buildings are places of hope, lively activity and. above all, change. That’s why I start this tour of the church building with the East Window - the Biblical scene of the Transfiguration.
Peter, James and John look stunned (bottom centre) at the transfigured appearance of Jesus, while Moses and Elijah make a Trinity with Christ.

For almost eight hundred years, this church building has been a place of change and growth for Christians. I’m always saddened when visitors find the Burial Place of Florence Nightingale and don’t try to come into the church.
The building is normally unlocked from 8am until sunset and, during the week, it is a place where people come to be quiet, to reflect, and even to pray. On Sundays, the rafters ring to the sounds of singing and children’s voices.

In these pages, you can learn a little more about its history, and if you want to find out in greater detail could come to the church and buy the Wellow History Society’s booklet for only £1. Or click on Architecture, and find photographs of a few of the features that make this building so memorable.
