One young man left Welney parish at the time of the Great War, and ended up a horse farrier on a farm at Barway in Cambridgeshire, some ten miles away.
Because of this, the civilisation of Welney came as a surprise, particularly as it was en fete, the bunting rippling in the trees along the churchyard edge.
However, Welney is large enough to give the place an independent life, and this church, the 1848 work of JC Buckler, is a fine adornment to it.

 The Old Bedford Level   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1838, Samuel Birley Rowbotham ["Parallax"] made observations along a six mile stretch of this, between Welney and Old Bedford Bridges, which he claimed to show the earth was flat, leading to the formation of the 'Flat Earth Society' which survived until the 1980s!
(I'm not sure where Old Bedford Bridge is, but the description seems to imply it is to the south-east of Welney Bridge, though the Old Bedford River runs from south-west to north-east.) Indeed some of the observations were confusing, probably due to ignorance about refraction caused by the air.
If one sights along a level stretch of water, the curvature of the earth will conceal objects near the water surface, but Rowbotham regularly saw (with a telescope) barges and other objects at water level six miles away.
