The centre of Welwyn village is one of only eight conservation areas in the borough and many of the properties in the village centre date back hundreds of years. The church of St Mary’s lies in the centre of the village as does a war memorial in memory of the forty people who lost their lives during the First World War. On the outskirts of the village are the remains of a Roman bath house which was discovered and excavated during the 1960’s and can be seen by visitors to this day.
Welwyn village mixes the old with the new and now has an array of small independent shops, restaurants, tea room, bakery, hairdressers’, doctors’ surgery, vets, five public houses and a modern convenience store. The local Civic Centre is available to anyone who wishes to hold an event or class from there.
