Church of St Julian, Wellow

The Church of St Julian in Wellow, Somerset, England has origins before the 12th century although the present building dates from 1372.

[1] The church is believed to have Roman origins in connection with a local villa and the dedication to Julian the Hospitaller may support this claim.

A statue of St Julian holding an oar is displayed in a niche above the porch.

In 1369 Sir Thomas Hungerford bought Wellow and rebuilt the church which was consecrated on May Day in 1372 by John Harewell, Bishop of Bath and Wells.
