The Domesday holdings of Haugh are not straightforward. It is true to say that there were 2 tenants-in-chief there; Earl Hugh of Chester and the Bishop of Durham. Earl Hugh held 20 carucates and 2 bovates of land in the vills of Wainfleet, Haugh, Calceby Theddlethorpe and Mablethorpe, but this holding is not broken down between these 5 settlements. Between them they were home to 149 households. He also held 7½ carucates in Withern, Aby, Haugh and Calceby, where another 27 households lived. Both of these groups were held in demesne. Then the bishop's man Willliam held 2 bovates of land from the bishop in Haugh and Calceby.
The church and its advowson were gifted to the House of Cistercian nuns at Greenfield priory by Anfrid of Haugh, eraly in the reign of Henry II (see Stenton, 94).
