Meltonby is listed in the Domesday Book as in the Hundred of Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire. At the time of the survey, the settlement contained thirteen villagers. Five smallholders, four tributaries (rent payers), fifteen burgesses, a priest and a church. There were fifty-three ploughlands, woodland, and three mills.
