Welland, Worcestershire
Welland, Worcestershire

Welland is a village and civil parish in the administrative district of Malvern Hills in the county of Worcestershire, England. It has a combined parish council with Little Malvern, with 9 of the 11 councillors. It is about 6 miles (9.7 km) from the town of Malvern, 15 miles from the city of Worcester, and 18 miles from the city of Gloucester. It is surrounded by farms and common land, and is part of the informal region referred to as The Malverns. Welland is a crossroads village in south Worcestershire situated almost mid-way on a minor alternative route between the cities of Worcester and Gloucester. The village is adjacent to Castlemorton Common and lies beneath the southern end of the Malvern Hills. Its main event is the Welland Steam Rally that takes place each year during the last weekend of July drawing enthusiasts, steam engines, historic vehicles, a steam carnival and militaria to the village. Other points of interest include its view of the entire range of the Malvern Hills, and its quiet rights of way. At the centre of the village community is the village hall, Welland Primary School founded in 1876 with a capacity for up to 150 children, and St James Church. The village hall is regularly used for many community activities including an arts & crafts club, over 60's club, local branch of the W.I., dancing, and short mat bowls. It also houses a library with computers offering free public access. Welland Football Club, who play their home games at The Hill Centre, Upton-on-Severn, are members of the Herefordshire League premier division; Welland Reserves play in the Cheltenham League division two, with home games at The Pavilion, Welland. 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. Concerts and drama events are regularly held and attract large audiences. The settlement of Upper Welland falls under the civil parish of Malvern Wells.

She has since served as the Society's President (1981), opened the new members' complex overlooking the main arena (1986), attended National Pony Society's 100th Summer Championship Show and the National Sheep Association Show (2006) and was guest of honour at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, as part of its 25th birthday celebrations that were held in 2010. In 2014, she accepted an invitation to become patron of the Royal Three Counties Show.The show owes its beginnings to 1797 to a John Clerk who commented that there was no agricultural show in Herefordshire, so local farmers decided to hold a first show the following year under the aegis of the Earl of Oxford. By 1922 the shows of the counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire had merged into the Three Counties Agricultural Society. The 3-day event takes place annually since 1958 on a permanent 70-acre (28 ha) site near Malvern, typically attracting around 25,000 visitors.
