History
Wauldby was recorded in the 11th century Doomsday survey as "Waldbi", with a population, together with Elloughton, of 36 villeins, 3 smallholders and a priest.[2] The name Waldbi is thought to mean "[place] on the wold", and is Scandinavian in origin.[3][n 1]
The original village was depopulated during the mediaeval period.[5][n 2][n 3] The area underwent enclosure after 1796.[8] In the 1850s the township of Waulby covered Script error: No such module "convert". and contained 49 people.[9]
In 1835 a chapel was built on the site of an older chapel of ease by Anne Raikes the then landowner.[9][10][n 4] It was built in Gothic revival 13th century style, and is thought to be designed by J. L. Pearson.[7][11][n 3]
Wauldby was formerly a township in the parish of Elloughton,[13] in 1866 Wauldby became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Welton.[14] In 1931 the parish had a population of 51.[15]
Wauldby Hall, also known as Waulby Manor, was rebuilt in 1839.[9]
The house was refurbished in the 1960s by Francis Johnson.[16] The church's bell cote was removed in 1980, and both the manor and church building became grade II listed buildings in 1988.[11][17] The house, church and Script error: No such module "convert". of grounds were put up for sale in 2009 at a price of £1.55 million.[18]
