Most of the land is enclosed field system, there are also minor woods and plantations including the Woodland Trust managed Nut Wood and Wauldby Scrogs. [1]
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 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]
