Architect to the Board of First Fruits and subsequently to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Joseph Welland was born in Midleton, Co. Cork, on 8 May 1798. His father was WILLIAM WELLAND WILLIAM WELLAND , head agent to George Brodrick, fourth Viscount Midleton. Through the influence of Lord Midleton's brother Charles Brodrick, Archbishop of Cashel, Joseph became a pupil and subsequently an assistant to JOHN BOWDEN JOHN BOWDEN , architect to the Board of First Fruits, in Dublin. Bowden also had a large secular practice, and Welland, according to his obituary in the Irish Builder,'enjoyed an extensive share of business' with responsibility for 'numerous works' including Monaghan gaol and court house. This would seem to suggest that after Bowden's death in 1821, Welland inherited at least some of his secular projects and clients. At the same time William Welland asked Brodrick to recommend Joseph as Bowden's successor in the Board of First Fruits post. After it had been decided that the position should be divided between four architects, each responsible for an ecclesiastical province, Joseph was given charge of the province of Tuam. He kept this position after the Board was reconstituted as the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1833 and retained it until 1837, when he was succeeded by GEORGE PAPWORTH GEORGE PAPWORTH . Welland was then presumably allotted duties of a more general nature, and, when the architects' department was further reorganized and centralized in 1843, he was given sole responsibilty for the whole country. It may have been at this point that the Commissioners introduced the requirement that their architect should undertake no outside work.(1)

Welland's obituarist in the Irish Builder states that he designed over 100 new churches as well as carrying out alterations and enlargements to existing structures, pointing out that although he had 'to contend against the difficulty imposed by limited funds at disposal…his designs are marked by a truthfulness and suitability of character, an effectiveness of detail and imposing proportions'.

Welland was married to Sophia Margaret, daughter of John Mills.(2) He sent four sons to Trinity College, Dublin,(3 ) the eldest of whom, Thomas James Welland (1830-1907), became Bishop of Down, Connor and Dromore. The second, WILLIAM JOHN WELLAND WILLIAM JOHN WELLAND , who was awarded the Diploma in Civil Engineering by Trinity College, Dublin, in 1854, worked as an architect with his father. Some of the designs produced in the last year of Joseph Welland's life are signed 'Joseph Welland & Son'.

Joseph Welland died on 6 March 1860 and was buried in St George's churchyard, Dublin. A month later William John Welland and WILLIAM GILLESPIE  WILLIAM GILLESPIE were appointed joint architects to the Commissioners in his place.(4)

Most of Welland's drawings are to be found in the Representative Church Body Library, Dublin. These consist of designs for a large number of new churches and church alterations as well as many survey drawings. The list of Welland's works in this database has been compiled without examination of the RCB drawings and should not be regarded as definitive. It should be borne in mind that Welland may have signed designs (or office copies of designs) by other architects to denote his authorization rather than his authorship and that minor works and alterations may well have been left in the hands of local assistants, working to an approved 'house style'. Some churches have been listed under ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS  ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS where attribution is uncertain.
