Wellingore is a village in the North Kesteven district of the county, 12 miles S of Lincoln. The church stands on the E side of Cliff Road, the main road running through the village, at its southern end. It is built of coursed limestone rubble and ashlar and is primarily a 14thc. church consisting of W tower, three-bay nave with a chapel at the E end of the N aisle, chancel, a S porch and a Perpendicular clerestory. The only 12thc features are the sedilia. A restoration of the entire church was carried out in 1878.

Wellingore was held by Earl Morcar in 1066, when it was assessed at 18 carucates. In 1086 it belonged to the kingt. The Domesday Survey records a church and a priest here in 1086. To the church belonged 14 acres of meadow in the village. The church belonged to St. Peter’s church in Lincoln. As part of the royal manor of Wellingore, William I presented the church to Remigius for the endowment of the new cathedral in Lincoln.

Pevsner suggests a late-12thc date for the sedilia, based on the slightly chamfered round arches and waterleaf capital.
