Meltonby is named in the Domesday Book, compiled by Norman commissioners in 1086, entered under the hundred of Warter in Yorkshire. The survey assessed Meltonby at 1 carucate of taxable land.
At the time of the survey, Meltonby supported a recorded population of 1 villager, 3 slaves, working 2 ploughs between them.
By 1086 Meltonby was worth 12d, up from 5d before the Conquest – in contrast to many Yorkshire neighbours whose valuations collapsed.
