Meltonby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Yapham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about two miles north of Pocklington. The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72 noted it as having a population of 66.[1]
Meltonby is listed in the Domesday Book as in the Hundred of Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire. At the time of the survey, the settlement contained thirteen villeins. Five smallholders, four tributaries (rent payers), fifteen burgesses, a priest and a church. There were fifty-three ploughlands, woodland, and three mills. In 1066, Earl Morcar held the lordship, which in 1086 transferred to the King, who was also Tenant-in-chief.[2]
In 1823, Meltonby was noted a being within the parish of Pocklington, and the Wapentake of Harthill. The population at the time was 78, with occupations including six farmers & yeomen.[3]
