Bell tower of St Andrew's church, Welham, with a ring of 2 bells; 2, 7-0-11 in A#

"The church has a west tower, nave, chancel and the north mausoleum which houses the Edward’s monument. The 62ft tower dates from the 15th century with four stages marked by horizontal stringing. On the top is a weathercock erected in 1854, a hole in it was reputedly caused by a German aircraft attacking the railway sidings (now gone) during World War II. The entrance to the church is via the west doorway through the tower."
