Wellow is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 444,[1] increasing to 470 at the 2011 census,[2] but falling slightly to 463 at the 2021 census.[3]
It has a village green and a maypole, which is still in use. The parish church of St Swithin is 12th century, which was restored, with a new chancel, in 1878–9. On the east and south sides of the village are the remains of a defensive ditch, which originally encircled the village. To the south is the deserted medieval village of Grimston, which now forms part of the Manor of Wellow. To the north east is Jordan Castle, a Norman ringwork consisting of a circular earthwork surrounded by a bank and ditch.[4]
Wellow also has, in Wellow Park, the largest remaining example of ash-wych elm woodland in Nottinghamshire.
