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.
The name Waldbi is thought to mean "[place] on the wold", and is Scandinavian in origin.

The original village was depopulated during the mediaeval period.
The area underwent enclosure after 1796.

In the 1850s the township of Waulby covered 990 acres (400 ha) and contained 49 people.

In 1835 a chapel was built on the site of an older chapel of ease by Anne Raikes the then landowner.
It was built in Gothic revival 13th century style, and is thought to be designed by J.L. Pearson.

Wauldby Hall, also known as Waulby Manor, was rebuilt in 1839.

The house was refurbished in the 1960s by Francis Johnson.
The church's bell cote was removed in 1980, and both the manor and church building became grade II listed buildings in 1988.
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.
