Wauldby was once the site of a village; the habitation was abandoned in mediaeval 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 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]


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 990 acres (400 ha) and contained 49 people.[9]

Wauldby Manor Farm

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]


Notes


  1. Etymology: by meaning farmstead or village.[3] The Old Norse völlr (field), the German wald (wood), and the Anglo Saxon weald are words related to the root of the name.[4]
  2. "Deserted medieval villages, (1971), M.W. Beresford et al gives a location SE 974297;[6] east of the church, whilst "The Buildings of England: Yorkshire: York and the East Riding, (1972), N. Pevsner" states in a footnote that the site of the deserted village is obvious, and to the south of the Church.[7]
  3. In Archaeological Journal (1845. vol.1, p.97); Letter from J. L. Pearson: ..there were once some buildings existing at Wauldby ... I built a small chapel somewhere on the site of the old buildings for Mr. Raikes..[12]
  4. Pevsner's Buildings of England and other sources give a date of building of 1844.[7][11]
