Full Description

PRN 46291 The name of Saltfleetby All Saints is first recorded as Saltflatebi in 1086, which means the farmstead, village on or near Saltfleet. The affixes are from the dedications of the churches. It is also known as West Saltfleetby. {1} In 1086, there was no definition between the three Saltfleetby parishes and they were all listed as one. The King owned the majority of land, with further land being owned by the Bishop of Durham and Alfred of Lincoln. There was additional land owned by Rainer de Brimou and William Blund, but it is listed as waste. There is a minimum population of 53 people. {2} By the Lindsey survey of 1115 the Count of Brittany had become the major landowner in the parish. {2} The lay subsidy in 1334 records that Saltfleetby paid £7 6s 6d which was considerably higher than the average for Louthesk wapentake, implying that the parish was wealthier than the average. {3} There was a fair granted to Saltfleetby in 1268 to be held from the 20th to 27th September. This was probably moved to Skidbrooke in 1301. {4} In 1377 there were 320 taxpayers in the Saltfleetby. {4} In 1563 the population of Saltfleetby All Saints was 31 households. {5} In the early 18th century the population of Saltfleetby All Saints was approximately 35 families. {6} The population of Saltfleetby All Saints was 148 in 1801 rising to 218 in 1821 falling to 200 in 1851 and falling again to 153 in 1901. {7}
