Welland is a village and civil parish in the administrative district of Malvern Hills in the county of Worcestershire, England.
Welland is a crossroads village in south Worcestershire situated almost mid-way on a minor alternative route between the cities of Worcester and Gloucester.
Around 2001 St. James' Church came very near to closing but due to the initiative of a small team led by a churchwarden, it has been totally transformed and is now used virtually every day for various activities besides regular worship.
Prehistoric occupation is represented by a Neolithic polished stone axe found at Hill Court Farm,[3] and possible Romano-British settlement has been identified from the place names 'Burnt Ground' and 'Burn Piece'.
[6] In 889 Welland was acquired by the Bishop of Worcester after a grant of land from Ealdorman Athulf, who had inherited the estate from the Mercian king Coenwulf.
