Not an airfield I had heard of until recently but I am keen to find out a little more about it.

There is an aerial here;

I've been on a couple of visits here when the T67 Firefly was in production but that has finished now and I believe that the factory now produces submersibles under the Slingsby Advanced Composites banner within the Marshall's Aerospace Group . See here ; http://www.marshall-slingsby.com/index.html
I only recall one , possibly two small pre-fab type hangars near the grass strip which housed a dismantelled glider and the company T67 demonstrator . Slingsby have also previously used Wombleton for test flying .

Wasn't this originally the private airfield for nearby Welburn Hall in the 30's??

I have always understood that Slingsby's airstrip as the field between the factory and Welburn Hall. I think Flight magazine archives had an aerial photo of the field, possibly pre-ww2
