''It is possible that Charles II visited Welton on two occasions. During the Restoration Sir Charles Harbord, the Duchy Surveyor, lived at the Manor House, and, as we have seen, it was hear Charles heard the peal of cracked bells.

Tradition has it that he was hidden for some time at the Old Farm in Welton.''
