St. James’ Church Welton in the County of Cumbria was built in 1873 as a Chapel of Ease in the Parish of St. Mary Sebergham. As the river divides the Welton part from the Sebergham part it was thought a help to those on the Welton side of the river.  

In 1976 after a pastoral reorganization of a number of parishes St. James’ Welton was added to Holy Trinity Parish Rosley. St. Mary’s Sebergham became part of the Caldbeck team along with Castle Sowerby. It seats around 80 with extras in the choir stalls if necessary.
