Wauldby is a vanished village, of which merely a fam and cottages are to be seen, in the East Riding of Yorkshire; in the south of the riding about two miles north of Welton and three miles west of Willerby, within the Yorkshire Wolds.
There is today a gentrified hamlet around Wauldby Manor Farm, and a few other minor dwellings including Little Wauldby Farm.
Wauldby was once the site of a village, which was abandoned in the Middle Ages.
There are also minor woods and plantations hereabouts, including the Woodland Trust managed Nut Wood and Wauldby Scrogs.
History
Wauldby was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Waldbi", with a population, together with Elloughton, of 36 villeins, 3 smallholders and a priest.[1] The name Waldbi is thought to mean "[place] on the wold", and is Scandinavian in origin.[2]
The original village was depopulated during the mediæval period.[3]
The area underwent enclosure after 1796.[4] In the 1850s the township of Waulby covered {{990 acres and contained 49 people.[5]
In 1835 a chapel was built on the site of an older chapel of ease by Anne Raikes the then landowner.[5][6] It was built in Gothic revival 13th century style, and is thought to be designed by John Loughborough Pearson.
Wauldby Hall, also known as Waulby Manor, was rebuilt in 1839.[5]
The house was refurbished in the 1960s by Francis Johnson.[7] The church's bell cote was removed in 1980, and both the manor and church building are Grade II listed buildings.[8] The house, church and eleven acres of grounds were put up for sale in 2009 at a price of £1.55 million.[9]
