Wauldby is a region in the Yorkshire Wolds within the civil parish of Welton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It contains the gentrified hamlet around Wauldby Manor farm, and a few other minor dwellings including Little Wauldby farm.
Wauldby was once the site of a village; the habitation was abandoned in medieval times.
Geography
Wauldby is situated approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Welton and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Willerby. It is within the Yorkshire Wolds beyond the head of Welton Dale, at a height of approximately 330 ft (100 m) with a local high point of 381 ft (116 m). The area is entirely rural; there are two minor dwellings: Little Waulby Farm and Waulby Manor Farm with church, manor house outbuildings and cottages, and a pond Wauldby Dam. Most the land is enclosed field system, there are also minor woods and plantations including the Woodland Trust managed Wauldby Scrogs and Nut wood.[1]
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 medieval period.[5][n 2][n 3] The area underwent enclosure after 1796.[8] In the 1850s the township of Waulby covered 990 acres (400 ha) 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 Hall, also known as Waulby Manor, was rebuilt in 1839.[9]
The house was refurbished in the 1960s by Francis Johnson.[13] The church's bell cote was removed in 1980, and both the manor and church building became grade II listed buildings in 1988.[11][14] The house, church and 11.2 acres (4.5 ha) of grounds were put up for sale in 2009 at a price of £1.55 million.[15]
