Wauldby was once the site of a village; the habitation was abandoned in mediaeval times.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.[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.[9][10][n 4] It was built in Gothic revival 13th century style, and is thought to be designed by J. L.[11][17] 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.
